DescriptionFrom August 2019 to September 2019: Decided to defer the accrual of interest on farmers’ insurance premiums for the spring 2019 crop year. The measure seeks to ease the consequences of delayed or prevented plantings, as well as reduced crop yields caused by severe flooding or extreme drought conditions in 2019. Furthermore, top-up payments have been granted to producers participating in federal crop insurance, whose plantings were prevented by flooding and excess moisture.
