(NAFB.com) – Flax producers can now benefit from revenue protection, a crop insurance option available through the USDA. The Risk Management Agency expanded the Small Grains Crop Provisions to now offer revenue protection for flax for the 2025 crop year, an option already offered for barley, rye, wheat, and oats. “Expanding revenue protection for flax producers represents a critical step in strengthening the safety net,” says RMA Administrator Marcia Bunger. “By ensuring that flax farmers have access to revenue-based insurance, we provide them with a more reliable tool to manage both market fluctuations and unexpected challenges.” RMA is also continuing to expand crop insurance options for specialty and organic growers by allowing enterprise units by organic farming practices, adding enterprise unit eligibility for several crops, and making additional policy updates. Also, the agency expanded the availability of enterprise units by organic farming practices to sugar beets, onions, popcorn, and processing beans.
