A Congressional Research Service report estimates federal crop insurance premium subsidies reached about $15 billion in 2026, roughly 66% of total premiums. Combined federal costs for crop insurance and farm-bill programs are projected to average about $30.6 billion a year for fiscal 2027 through 2031.
The report notes that the 2025 reconciliation law reauthorized commodity support through the 2031 crop year.
Stable, well-funded crop insurance and commodity support encourages farmers to keep planting, which supports long-run feed grain and oilseed supply. The near-term price impact is small because the programs are already authorized.
