Book Description
Agricultural Insurance: Principles and Organization and Application to Developing Countries states that agriculture is subject to special elements of uncertainty. The risk inherent in agriculture has been exhaustively discussed in the text. Risks in agriculture can be characterized as property risk and personal risk. Natural risk such as storms, plant diseases, and insect pests is another topic covered in the book. A type of risk that is identified as drought, inundation, frost and freeze, hail, and tornado is called meteorological risk. The book also discusses another form of risk, which is named social risk. Occurrence such as fire, theft or burglary, embezzlement, and technological change belongs to this type of risk. A chapter of the book is devoted to the ways on how to remedy the risks enumerated. Another section of the book defines the term insurance. This section introduces such topic as probability, uncertainty, and the law of large numbers. The book notes that in order for agricultural risk to be insurable, it must satisfy some parameters. The text will provide valuable insight for farmers, financial planners, statisticians, students, and researchers in the field of risk management.

Book Description
Since its inception in 1938, the program has evolved from an ancillary program with low participation to a central pillar of federal support for agriculture. As the program has grownin types of insurance policies, breadth of crops covered, and millions of acres enrolledso has the cost of the program to the federal government. The first two chapters provide an overview of the federal crop insurance program. Chapter 3 focuses entirely on delivery subsides and explains how delivery subsidies are calculated, the limitations of publicly available data on the actual delivery expenses of Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs), and how AIPs spend delivery subsidies. In 2010, USDA negotiated an agreement with insurance companies to set a national cap on the annual payments it makes to them for expenses and a target rate of return. Chapter 4 examines (1) the changes in expense payments to companies due to the cap, (2) the extent to which the programs target rate of return reflects market conditions, and (3) opportunities for the federal government to reduce its delivery costs for the program. Before the Agricultural Act of 2014 cotton was eligible for most Federal farm programs. The 2014 Farm Act eliminated multiple programs, including the Direct and Countercyclical Program, while introducing several new programs, including the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO), and Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX). Chapter 5 focuses on the two new programs for cotton and examines the mechanics of the programs and their revenue impacts. Catastrophic coverage for noninsurable crops, known as the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), has been available since the Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994. Chapter 6 examines the effects of the 2014 NAP policy change. Crop insurance premium subsidies are an important part of Compliance incentives under the 2014 Act. Farm program benefits under the 2014 Act could be as high or higher than under the 2008 Farm Act; but for individual farms, the shift toward a crop insurance-oriented policy could increase or decrease Compliance incentives as reported in the last chapter.
