Department of Agriculture Two Agriculture programs--an insurance pro- gram and a direct-payment program--now offer agriculture producers some protection against loss of income when crops are dam- aged or destroyed by natural disasters or other uncontrollable hazards. Legislation has been proposed to expand the insurance program and repeal the payment program. This would shift most of the disaster protection cost from the taxpayers to the primary beneficiaries--the producers. Agri- culture estimates this would save the Govern- ment $259 million annually. GAO believes the proposed legislation has considerable merit. It recognizes, however, that various options can be considered in deciding on the Federal role in agricultural disaster protection. This report discusses the main options and their advantages and- dis- advantages to producers and to the Govern- ment and the taxpayers. 0 RED-76-91 AY 4,1976 \\ ~1 I, '- -v -~ / 1~ C ( C N Irl, C, , 4* 1
