The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation final rule (Nov 28, 2025) removes the administrative "buy-up" option for prevented-planting coverage, effective for the 2026 crop year.

The Federal Register final rule explicitly eliminates prevented-planting "buy-up" coverage (section VI of the rule). The rule was published Nov 28, 2025 and is implemented for the 2026 crop year, meaning the prior buy-up option was removed prior to the lookback window and remained in effect as of May 26, 2026.

On Jan. 22, 2026, Senate Agriculture leaders including John Hoeven led a bipartisan letter urging USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins to reinstate additional prevented-planting buy-up coverage for 2027 and beyond.

Sen. Hoeven co-led an official, bipartisan Senate Agriculture Committee letter asking USDA to reverse the Nov. 28, 2025 rule and restore buy-up prevented-planting coverage. This documents a concrete push by the senator (formal letter with numerous cosigners) but does not show USDA reversed the rule as of the as-of date (May 26, 2026).
