Bill > S741

This bill, known as the "Protecting Mushroom Farmers Act," amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to require the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) to conduct or contract research and development for a new crop insurance policy specifically focused on mushroom production. The bill mandates that the FCIC carry out research to develop an insurance policy that would cover either the production of mushrooms or the revenue generated from mushroom production. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the FCIC is required to submit a report to the agricultural committees of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, detailing the results of the research and development efforts and providing any recommendations based on those findings. This legislation aims to provide mushroom farmers with a specialized crop insurance option, which could help protect them against potential financial losses due to crop failures or revenue shortfalls.
