TEMP Act

What this bill does

  • The bill directs the federal crop insurance program to research temperature-based insurance for frost and cold weather crop losses.
  • Farmers growing temperature-sensitive crops like tomatoes, peppers, citrus, and berries are affected.
  • The research must develop an index-based policy that automatically pays claims when temperatures drop below predetermined levels.

    How would index-based temperature insurance that automatically triggers payouts differ from traditional crop insurance that requires farmers to document individual losses?

  2. 02

    Which federal agencies should lead this temperature insurance research, and what funding levels would be necessary to develop policies for multiple crop types?

  3. 03

    What risks exist if automated temperature-based payouts don't align perfectly with actual crop damage on individual farms?
