AI Summary

This bill, the FEEDD Act of 2021 (Feed Emergency Enhancement During Disasters with Cover Crops Act of 2021), amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to modify prevented planting coverage. The key provisions include: (1) allowing producers to plant a second crop, such as a cover crop, on the same acreage for harvest in the same crop year and collect a full prevented planting indemnity payment for the first crop, if certain criteria are met (e.g., the second crop is used for animal feed); (2) preventing the reduction of indemnity payments for producers who hay, graze, or chop cover crops on prevented planting acres after a regionally-determined harvest date; and (3) requiring the Secretary to establish annual harvest dates for each region, taking into account current and regularly updated meteorological data.
