Background

The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (Farm Bill) included provisions to improve the effectiveness of WFRP. Per the Farm Bill, RMA has continued to solicit stakeholder recommendations.

In addition, RMA worked with stakeholders to identify other improvements to WFRP not related to the Farm Bill.
