Organic Crops

Organic farming is one of the fastest-growing segments of U.S. agriculture. USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) recognizes organic farming practices as good farming practices and continues to improve crop insurance coverage for certified organic producers and producers transitioning to certified organic production.

Agricultural producers who have crop insurance coverage on crops in transition to organic or a certified organic grain or feed crop are eligible for premium assistance from USDA. The Transitional and Organic Grower Assistance (TOGA) Program, offered by USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA), reduces the producer’s overall crop insurance premium bill and helps them continue to use organic agricultural systems. Producers will automatically receive the premium assistance on the premium billing statements for the 2023 reinsurance year, which covers applicable policies with sales closing dates from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Learn more on farmers.gov.

Since there is no enrollment paperwork, the premium assistance will automatically apply to those eligible insurance policies with sales closing dates that have passed.
