Extension Programs in Crop Insurance: A Maryland Case Study

Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 2008, vol. 37, issue 1, 22-26

Abstract: Many states have crop insurance extension programs. This activity has been stimulated with the availability of funds to support extension from the Risk Management Agency (RMA) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Several new RMA programs were established under the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000. The Targeted States Program is quite important for the Northeast. This program serves states that were traditionally underserved by crop insurance. It is available in all 12 northeastern states, plus Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. The Targeted States Program funds one program in each state. A total of $4.5 million in funding is available each year. Amounts for state programs range from $157,000 in Rhode Island to $754,000 in Pennsylvania, which is a considerable amount of funding.
