Sorry, but I gotta tell you, federally subsidized crop insurance is not a program I would ever contemplate getting rid of.
There are a lot of things I would be willing to change with respect to agricultural policy, but that one ain’t one of them. The fact that a Farmer can safely invest in his crops for the following year with some insurance that if they fail due to weather that he isn’t bankrupted by it, is fine with me.
We went through the dust bowl to learn that lesson, no need to do it again.
I do not have a problem with crop insurance, nor do I have a problem with flood insurance. The question, as always, is do non-farmers need to subsidize it, just like do people who don’t live in flood plains have to subsidize flood insurance?
