ASA Applauds Efforts to Restore Prevented Plant Buy-Up Option

The American Soybean Association applauds Secretary Brooke Rollins and Senator John Hoeven for their efforts to restore the prevented plant buy-up option under the federal crop insurance program. ASA has long advocated for restoring this important risk management tool and appreciates USDA's commitment to working toward its return.

"Crop insurance is the cornerstone of the farm safety net, and restoring the prevented plant buy-up option will provide farmers with greater certainty as they navigate increasingly unpredictable weather and challenging economic conditions," said Scott Metzger, ASA President and Ohio soybean farmer. "We appreciate Senator Hoeven's leadership and Secretary Rollins' commitment to this effort."

ASA looks forward to continuing to work with USDA until this important protection is restored.
