The chart shows the number of acres insured under the U.S. Federal Crop Insurance Program from 2000 to 2025, broken out by major policy types. Total insured acres increase steadily over time, growing from just above 200 million acres in the early 2000s to nearly 550 million acres by 2025. Most of the growth comes from the red “Area and index plans” category, which expands sharply after 2018. Individual revenue plans (yellow) are the second-largest category in 2025, while individual yield plans (green) are the third. The “Other” category (black) remains small throughout. Overall, the chart highlights a substantial long-term expansion in insured acreage and a shift toward greater use of area and index-based plans.
