FARM INSURANCE
Insurance, moving with the climate.
Federal crop insurance is the biggest climate-adaptation lever most working farms already use. Here's how to think about coverage as risk trajectories shift.

Common questions
- Is federal crop insurance changing as climate risk rises?
- Yes, though slowly. County-level premium rates are recalibrated using historical loss experience, so as loss frequency rises, so do rates. Program-level shifts — expanded whole-farm revenue programs, prevented-planting rule changes — happen on longer cycles.
- Which perils are hardest to insure now?
- Drought is well-covered in most yield-based policies. Heat-stress at pollination is partially covered via yield loss. Smoke-taint in wine is largely uncovered by federal programs; specialty-crop policies fill some but not all of the gap. Wildfire is a specialty-crop and vineyard problem, not a row-crop one.
- What are prevented planting and its climate implications?
- Prevented-planting coverage kicks in when weather prevents planting by a program-defined date. As spring precipitation grows more variable, prevented-planting claims are rising. Some programs are tightening eligibility.
- How should climate-fit scoring inform an insurance decision?
- Fields with rising drought, heat, or precipitation-variability trajectories are the ones where boosting coverage to higher trigger levels usually pays back. Fields with strong climate fit can often carry lower coverage.
