Agriculture Infrastructure Stability Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Agriculture Infrastructure Stability Act of 2025 amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to require the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to carry out research and development, or contract with qualified persons to do so, regarding a harvest incentive for a policy that provides coverage for loss of revenue.
If the requirements of section 508(h) are met, the Corporation must make such a policy available within two years after enactment, notwithstanding certain existing timing provisions. Within one year, the Corporation must report to the House and Senate Appropriations and Agriculture committees on the research and development results and describe any policy made available.
Who Benefits and How
Farmers using revenue-based crop insurance, crop insurance policy developers, approved insurance providers, and agricultural risk management researchers benefit from a pathway to develop and potentially offer harvest incentive coverage. Producers may benefit if the policy better supports harvesting decisions when revenue losses occur.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Federal Crop Insurance Corporation staff must conduct or contract for research, determine whether section 508(h) requirements are met, make a policy available if qualified, and report to Congress. Qualified research contractors and crop insurance developers must perform research and development work. Federal crop insurance program administrators may need to incorporate any new policy into delivery systems.
Key Provisions
- Requires FCIC research and development on harvest incentive policies for revenue-loss coverage.
- Authorizes FCIC to contract with qualified persons for the research and development.
- Requires FCIC to make a qualifying policy available within two years if section 508(h) requirements are met.
