Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act

This bill amends the federal crop insurance program (FCIP) to increase the premium assistance rate for beginning and veteran farmers or ranchers.

15 percentage points in each of the 1st and 2nd reinsurance years,
13 percentage points in the 3rd year,
11 percentage points in the 4th year, and
10 percentage points in each of the 5th through the 10th reinsurance years.
