Bill overview
The COVER Act of 2023 creates a new program called the Good Steward Cover Crop program within the Federal Crop Insurance Act. This program provides additional premium subsidies to farmers who plant qualifying cover crops – like cereal grasses, legumes, or brassicas – on land where they also grow other crops and purchase crop insurance. The program aims to encourage farmers to adopt conservation practices that benefit soil health and resilience, with funding provided over several years.
