As the farm bill process advances, James Callan and Associates Founder and CEO Jim Callan is closely monitoring the House Rules Committee process. “Some (amendments) will be thrown aside, and many will be considered so, it will be up to the Rules Committee to determine the number of amendments.” That could also include an amendment to federal crop insurance. “There’s always a concern that there could be some efforts to restrict payments to federal crop insurance,” said Callan. “There has been, over the recent years, strong bipartisan support for federal crop insurance. The administration, in its 2027 budget, is proposing no cuts to crop insurance; that’s good and points to a positive result, although we still have to be vigilant.”
