Background

The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (Farm Bill) enacted on December 20, 2018, includes language in Section 11122 to improve effectiveness of WFRP. Per the Farm Bill, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) held several stakeholder meetings with agents, producers, and grower groups to solicit recommendations to increase flexibility and effectiveness of the program. As a result of these meetings, RMA presented several changes to the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board of Directors (FCIC Board).

Background

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) modified the Regional Office Exceptions (ROE) system to store documents and other information for nursery catalogs, eliminating the need to use the Legacy SharePoint site for catalog submissions.

For the 2019 and subsequent Reinsurance Years (RY), Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) will submit all nursery catalogs through the ROE system using the existing R35 lite method described in the 2019 Appendix III to the Standard Reinsurance Agreement.
