A farmdoc daily analysis reports that the county add-on products ECO and SCO accounted for 35% of federal premium subsidies for nine major crops in 2026, up from 4% in 2024 and 16.7% in 2025. The increase is linked mainly to higher subsidies under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and is concentrated in the Midwest.
Richer subsidies for county-level coverage can encourage more insured acreage and affect farmer risk management, but the effect on near-term grain supply and prices is small.
