Want changes made to strawberry crop insurance policies? Here’s Your Chance to Provide Input.
The crop insurance policy that covers strawberries in California is in the process of being reviewed. Now is your chance to provide input to see the changes you want made to this type of policy. The United States Department of Agriculture reviews new crop insurance policies four years after implantation to evaluate and the benefits and problems of the product.
For instance, was the product advertised enough so people knew about it? Was the product designed to be simple enough so everyday growers can use and understand it? What improvements should be made to the product so it would have more value to growers? What are the elements of the product that are great and have to be maintained? All of these are examples of the types of questions that will be asked by the product review team who are examining the strawberry insurance policy. Participation is important because the views of the review team are part of the process of determining whether the product should continue to be offered in California.
