If you work in agriculture, you know that a lot of modern equipment like combines, planters, and harvesters have fuel tanks that can hold 250 gallons or more. But current government regulations prevent agricultural employees from transporting more than 118 gallons at a time. That means that during the busiest times of year, producers are forced to make multiple trips to the fuel station just to fill up their equipment. That adds time and money that they can’t afford.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, was meant to provide support for families in need.  But in recent years, relaxed eligibility standards and loopholes have allowed the program to balloon to support 44 million people.  One in seven Americans is on food stamps, and the government is spending more than $70 billion a year on this program.

Crop insurance is a shared-risk program where producers pay premiums to insure themselves against crop losses.  It's the preferred risk management tool for most farmers and ranchers, who have to protect their businesses against weather conditions and other factors outside of their control. 

The Crop Risk Options Plan (CROP) Act allows producers to buy group shallow loss coverage when insuring their crops.
