AI Summary

This bill, the Federal Agriculture Risk Management Enhancement and Resilience Act of 2024 (FARMER Act of 2024), amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to provide additional premium support for certain farm-based revenue protection or yield protection insurance plans. Specifically, it increases the premium subsidy for individual farm-based plans that use enterprise or whole-farm units from 77% to 68%. Additionally, the bill modifies the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) program by lowering the minimum coverage level from 14% to 10% and increasing the premium subsidy from 65% to 80%. The bill also directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to study the feasibility of providing SCO coverage for counties larger than 1,400 square miles at a level smaller than countywide but greater than individual coverage.
