RMA is embarking on a new video series called “Coast to Coast - Producer Behind the Policy” where we are getting to know the farmers and ranchers who rely on their Federal crop insurance to operate their farm businesses. With our first video, meet Jason Smith, grape grower with Valley Farm Management in Gonzales, California. Jason knows that farming is about the risks of Mother Nature: frost, heat, fires, and smoke…and the risks of the marketplace. Jason is also joined by Natalie Collins with the California Association of Winegrape Growers who shares the importance of crop insurance to the entire industry. Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/g3y4yV_p To learn more about Federal crop insurance, check out RMA’s?Beginners Guide to Crop Insurance: https://lnkd.in/gDWN8cAC Find a crop insurance agent near you with the?Agent Locator Tool: https://lnkd.in/dzBYpKsY If you're a grape grower, you may also be interested in the newly released?Fire Insurance Protection - Smoke Index?endorsement, which covers a portion of the deductible of the Grape Crop Provisions when the insured county experiences a minimum number of smoke events. https://lnkd.in/e5p2y2Cq

During Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate the rich history, traditions, and agricultural contributions of our Native American communities. RMA is dedicated to ensuring that citizens of tribal nations have access to USDA programs, especially Federal crop insurance. This year we are proud to introduce our new Tribal Ambassador, Gilbert Louis III of the Pueblo of Acoma tribe. For the next year, Gilbert will engage with tribal members to help them learn how Federal crop insurance can be used a risk management tool for their farm operations. Gilbert will be part of the RMA contingent at the 2024 Intertribal Agriculture Council (IAC) Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV, December 10-12. Remember to visit him if you attend. Welcome aboard, Gilbert!
