# Crop Insurance Support Shifts

> ECO and SCO now account for 35% of total federal premium subsidies for nine major crops in 2026, up from 4% in 2024 and 16.7% in 2025. The share is higher in the Midwest, and the increase is linked to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's higher subsidy rates.

## Why it matters

Stronger subsidized county coverage encourages growers to keep planting and reduces downside risk, which supports sustained supply. The price impact is modest.
