Climate Change and Agricultural Risk Management into the 21st Century
From the Document: "This study uses statistical, geophysical, and economic models to explore the mechanisms by which climate change could affect future costs of farm safety net programs to the Federal Government. This approach first simulates the potential impact of climate change on yields of major commodities, then quantifies the implications of yield change on planting decisions and prices, which in turn affects the cost of risk management programs. This allows for analysis of three different pathways by which cost increases could occur: (1) the direct impact of climate on yield risk, (2) the indirect effect of yield risk on price risk, and (3) the impact of changed average yield, production, and price on the total value insured (liabilities). While farm safety net policies change over time, this study uses the current version of the FCIP's [Federal Crop Insurance Program] Revenue Protection program as a heuristic: a program that reduces both yield and price risk as past programs have, and as future policies may."

U.S. Farm Income Outlook: December 2020 Forecast [February 9, 2021]
From the Introduction: "This report discusses the results of the third of three official USDA national farm income outlook forecasts released for 2020 (see box 'ERS's Annual Farm Income Forecasts' in the 'Appendix') by USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS). This release of December 2, 2020, provided the most comprehensive view of annual net farm income for the year because harvests were close to completion for most crops, and a substantial share of the harvested crops already had been sold. However, USDA will continue to fine-tune farm income estimates for 2020 as more and better data become available through 2021. This report's 'Appendix' has a discussion of how the December forecast aligns with prior forecasts from earlier in 2020."

Federal Crop Insurance: A Primer [February 18, 2021]
From the Introduction: "The federal crop insurance program (FCIP) provides insurance coverage for the production of most U.S. agricultural commodities against financial losses caused by adverse growing and market conditions. This insurance coverage helps stabilize farm business incomes, which can help farmers to repay debt, reduce farm bankruptcies, and thus avoid disruptions to food, livestock feed, and other markets for agriculture commodities, including export markets. The FCIP supplies insurance coverage that is not otherwise available from the private sector and is a central component of the federal farm safety net, a collection of programs that provide risk protection and financial support to farmers in times of low farm prices and natural disasters. Farmers can choose from a variety of insurance coverage options to customize the coverage to the specific needs of their farm businesses. The federal government subsidizes the policy premiums to encourage participation. [...] This report provides an overview of the FCIP and of how farmers use federal crop insurance policies to manage financial risk. It discusses legal authorities and annual appropriations for the program, key milestones in the program's history, and how the FCIP relates to the broader U.S. agricultural policy framework. The report also reviews the rationale for providing crop insurance by the public sector and outlines several issues Congress may consider related to program expansion, reform, and oversight."

U.S. Farm Income Outlook: February 2021 Forecast [February 24, 2021]
From the Document: "As the 117th Congress considers spending measures, such as through reconcilation, [sic] the health of the U.S. farm economy may be a part of the debate. In particular, Congress may consider the increased role in recent years of large government payments in supporting farm income. Is such intervention sustainable? In addition, is it neutral to the farm decisionmaking process, or does it confer any regional or commodity-specific advantages that might conflict with market forces?"
