PIA Praises Passage of Farm Bill Including Crop Insurance


WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA) commends Congress for reaching a bipartisan agreement and passing the Farm Bill, which preserves vital crop insurance provisions.

The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 87-13 on December 11. The House followed suit on December 12, approving it 369-47.

The fate of the Farm Bill, which includes jurisdiction over the federal crop insurance program, had been up in the air since the House and Senate entered into a conference committee in July.

"We are pleased that Congress was able to agree on a compromise, bipartisan Farm Bill that includes strong support for the federal crop insurance program," said Jon Gentile, PIA's Vice President of Government Relations. "The 2018 Farm Bill recognizes the need for a strong federal crop insurance program and the vital role that independent agents play in its delivery."

Founded in 1931, PIA is a national trade association that represents member insurance agents and their employees who sell and service all kinds of insurance, but specialize in coverage of automobiles, homes and businesses. PIA members are Local Agents Serving Main Street America SM. PIA's web address is www.pianet.com.
