The House Agriculture Committee advanced the 2020 WHIP+ Reauthorization Act, which would provide authorization for the Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+) in 2020 and 2021.
This legislation would broaden the assistance available via WHIP+ and authorize $8.5 billion in disaster aid for eligible causes of loss.
In a statement, the National Association of Wheat Growers said they are pleased to see the committee working in a bipartisan fashion to deliver much-needed assistance to growers impacted by natural disasters.
