The recently passed Farm Bill includes a provision authored by U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), co-chair of the Senate’s Chicken Caucus, and Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) to assist poultry growers during uncertain economic times. The bipartisan Coons-Chambliss provision commissions a pair of studies on the feasibility of insurance programs to protect America’s poultry growers from catastrophic loss, such as disease outbreaks, and from bankruptcies of poultry integrators.
