This grant, offered by USDA’s Risk Management Agency, aims to deliver crucial crop insurance education and information to U.S. agricultural producers. The primary purpose is to address historically low Federal crop insurance participation and availability in specific “Targeted States” where producers are significantly underserved by existing programs. This initiative seeks to empower farmers in Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. By increasing understanding and engagement with crop insurance, the grant intends to enhance financial stability and risk management capabilities for agricultural operations in these critical regions.
