Farm Board Act of 2025

The Farm Board Act of 2025 would change who sits on the Board of Directors of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC). The bill preserves the existing requirement that at least one Board member be a specialty crop producer, but it adds a new requirement that, starting with boards seated on or after May 1, 2027, there must also be at least one director who actively engages in both livestock production and crop production. In other words, the board would need to include representation from specialty crop producers and, beginning in 2027, at least one producer who runs both livestock and crop operations. This change aims to broaden governance by ensuring multi-commodity producers are represented on the FCIC board. The bill is titled the Farm Board Act of 2025. It was introduced in the Senate by Mr. Tuberville on July 23, 2025, and referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. The text provided focuses on the composition of the FCIC Board and does not address funding or other policy changes beyond board membership.
