The Senate's proposal includes provisions to expand coverage for smaller and diversified farms and introduce new pilot programs, while the House bill falls short by only marginally increasing discounts for beginning farmers without addressing fundamental access barriers. The final farm bill should focus on removing barriers to crop insurance, incentivizing agents to serve smaller farms, and incorporating risk-reducing practices to improve overall program effectiveness and affordability.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cover-crops-and-soil-health-principles-in-TN-photo-credit-Lance-Cheung-at-USDA-1-scaled.jpg","thumbnail_width":2560,"thumbnail_height":1707}
