Abstract: US farmers have notably increased their purchase of animal, animal product, rainfall index, and area add-up insurance products over the last five years, thus broadening the set of commodities covered by the US farm safety net and providing an option for higher coverage levels. Furthering the use of these products will likely be a point of considerable discussion in the farm bill debate.
