Twenty-six U.S. Senators have signed a letter urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency to refrain from making deep cuts to the federal crop insurance program. In a letter to RMA Administrator William Murphy, the Senators said a competitive, thriving crop insurance industry is vital to the agricultural economy.
"We are concerned the proposed cuts to the crop insurance industry, in addition to cuts made as part of the 2008 Farm Bill, could force some companies out of business," the Senators said. "Our rural economies can't stand to lose the jobs and necessary incomes that would occur as a result of these cuts."
