PM-19-063: Rice Crop Provisions Changes Effective for the 2020 Crop Year
Background
The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) revised the Rice Crop Provisions to allow for new irrigation methods to implement the changes contained in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (commonly referred to as the 2018 Farm Bill). FCIC also changed cancellation and termination dates in certain states to align with other row crops. The changes will be effective for the 2020 and succeeding crop years.
