TEMP Act

A single late frost can wipe out an entire season's crop for farmers growing tomatoes, citrus, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, and other temperature-sensitive produce. Right now, crop insurance doesn't do a great job covering those sudden cold-weather losses. This bill directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to research and develop a new index-based insurance policy — available nationally — that would protect farmers against production or revenue losses caused by frost or cold weather events, with a report to Congress due within one year.
