Save Our Small Farms Act of 2025

Streamlined Applications for Small Producers: The Secretary will establish a more efficient process for submitting records and acreage reports for diverse production systems, small-scale production systems, and direct-to-consumer production systems (Section 2, subsection (b)(4)(B)).

Financial Assistance for Transitioning Producers: Producers using diverse production systems can access a streamlined revenue-based option that offers premium discounts of 25 percent, 50 percent, or 50 percent depending on their certification and timing of transition to the whole farm revenue insurance plan (Section 2, subsection (b)(4)(C)).

Simplified Revenue Documentation: To establish revenue history, the Secretary will accept the Internal Revenue Service Tax Form Schedule F (Section 2, subsection (b)(4)(C)(iii)).

Flexible Loss Reporting for Specific Crops: Producers of hand-harvested or rapidly deteriorating crops can submit evidence of loss at any time after the 120-hour period following the loss (Section 2, subsection (b)(5)).

Modernized Loss Appraisals: When a loss adjuster is unavailable within 72 hours, producers can use remote appraisal methods like time-stamped photographs or drone footage (Section 2, subsection (b)(6)(A)(i)).

Increased Assistance Limits: The bill adjusts limits for limited resource, beginning, socially disadvantaged farmers, veteran farmers or ranchers, and producers participating in the streamlined revenue-based option to $600,000 (Section 2, subsection (b)(i)(2)(C)).

Reduced Insurance Costs for Specific Groups: Premium discounts are made available for limited resource, beginning, or socially disadvantaged farmers, veteran farmers or ranchers, and producers in the streamlined revenue-based option, providing coverage for 25 percent of the determined premium (Section 2, subsection (b)(i)(7)).
