Bill overview
This bill, the Cover Crop Flexibility Act of 2020, aims to encourage farmers to plant cover crops after a prevented planting situation. It allows producers to receive an indemnity payment equal to their original crop guarantee if they plant an approved cover crop that isn't harvested for grain or other uses. The bill also directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to research and develop insurance policies specifically for fields that regularly use cover crops, including considering costs associated with planting and grazing.
