PIA supports a Federal Crop Insurance Program that provides much needed insurance coverage to America’s farmers in a fair and equitable manner. PIA:

• Supports just compensation for independent insurance agents, the key sales force for the Federal Crop Insurance Program (FCIP).
• Supports a Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA) that ensures continued success of federal crop program and does not undermine this rural America’s soundest risk management tool.
• Supports a thorough analysis of the April 2009 Government Accountability Report (GAO).
• Opposes any additional cuts to the FCIP during the budget process.
• Supports comprehensive enforcement of anti-rebating and control of business schemes.
