Abstract
There is growing concern that the risks facing agricultural producers are increasing due to several factors that include the predicted effects of climate change leading to more frequent floods, droughts, and higher temperatures as well greater use of agricultural outputs for nonfood energy products.
These risks are partially managed through federal agricultural programs. Ad hoc disaster payments have frequently been used to provide financial support.
