It's not...

How Farmers Are Stacking Crop Insurance, FSA, and Disaster Aid for 2026

It's not a very popular or, to be honest, I mean, I want to be honest, it's not a very good product.

There needs to be some improvement to that product from the RMA to make this more attractive for our cow-calf operations.

This product, like I mentioned before, their rates are higher, so they're not generally buying the 80s and the 85s.
