Abstract

The major problem areas of private and Federal programs to protect producers from loss of income due to crop damage by natural disasters are identified, and policy options for handling these problems are developed. Options are evaluated on the basis of protection provided and the costs and benefits to farmers and taxpayers. Analysis of these options provides policymakers with a wide range of alternatives concerning the level of protection to provide producers. The analysis shows that the cost of these programs generally increases with the level of protection provided.
