2012 Farm Bill Debate: Multiple-Year Risk Assistance Programs

By: Carl Zulauf, Professor, Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Developmental Economics, The Ohio State University

Most farm safety net provisions in the Farm Bills passed by the full Senate and the House of Representative’s Committee on Agriculture can be classified into 3 categories: (1) enhancements to crop insurance, (2) assistance against shallow losses, and (3) assistance against losses that extend across multiple crop years. This paper focuses on the alternative proposals for multiple-year risk assistance.  To read the paper go to http://aede.osu.edu/sites/drupal-aede.web/files/publications/Zulauf%20-%202012%20Farm%20Bill%20-%20Mutiple-Year%20Risk%20Programs.pdf.
