How would increasing crop insurance subsidies specifically for beginning and veteran farmers affect land access and entry costs for people starting agricultural operations?
- 02
What evidence suggests that higher premium assistance rates in early farming years will meaningfully improve long-term farm viability and retention beyond the 10-year eligibility period?
