As farmers gear up for spring planting, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency has finalized crop insurance prices for the 2026 growing season. Prices for corn are down 1.7%, wheat prices are down 5.5%, and soybean prices are up. The safety net for growers is stronger this year, with spring prices set at $4.62 per bushel for corn, $11.09 per bushel for soybeans, and $6.19 per bushel for wheat. Updates in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act have improved federal farm safety net programs, including crop insurance provisions. Farmers are now evaluating coverage options and guarantees for the upcoming planting season.
