Hoeven: RMA Follows Through on One Big Beautiful Bill, Implements Enhanced Crop Insurance

BISMARCK, N.D. – Senator John Hoeven, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Committee and a senior member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, issued the following statement as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA) implements the enhanced farm bill policies that Hoeven worked to secure in the One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3), effective for all crops with sales closing dates on or after July 1, 2025. These provisions include:
Producers are encouraged to contact their crop insurance agents or visit the RMA website for information specific to their policies and coverage levels.
“The FARMER Act provisions that we secured in the One Big Beautiful Bill stand as a historic improvement to the affordability of crop insurance. We appreciate Secretary Rollins and her team at RMA for working with us to swiftly implement our legislation and deliver these benefits to U.S. farmers,” said Hoeven. “In North Dakota alone, producers are expected to receive $44 million in additional premium support as a result of these enhancements. Moreover, we’re investing in a new generation of farmers by providing additional premium support above the base rate for the first ten years of their operations, which will help secure the future of American agriculture.”
