Cut the federal crop insurance premium subsidy rate

What has happened

1. Jul 4, 2025 Not started

   Congress raised the premium subsidy rather than cutting it, and raised it above the 50 percent ceiling the Quote asks for at every coverage level. P.L. 119-21 Sec. 10504 amends 7 U.S.C. 1508(e)(2) to lift the taxpayer share from 64 to 69 percent, 59 to 64, 55 to 60, 48 to 51 and 38 to 41 percent; Sec. 10502(b) lifts the area-based rate from 65 to 80 percent and raises the maximum area coverage level to 95 percent; Sec. 10501 adds up to 5 further percentage points for beginning farmers and ranchers, and Sec. 10503 adds administrative and operating expense subsidies for insurers. The House-passed farm bill keeps Title XI on the same footing. No bill proposes a reduction. Cluster C (commodity subsidies, crop insurance, farm bill process) in `docs/research/ch-10.md`, round 3 ticket 09 batch 09c, records the queries.
