  2. 02

    What evidence exists that current crop insurance policies inadequately protect mushroom farmers compared to traditional commodity crop farmers?

  3. 03

    If the corporation develops a mushroom insurance policy but determines it's too expensive to offer profitably, what should happen to the policy under this bill?
