The Crop Insurance Title of the 2018 Farm Bill states that producers are eligible for crop insurance if there is enough supporting data available to support a claim of losses. It makes available subsidized insurance policies for about 130 commodities and crops, including commodities like corn, soy, wheat, cotton, and others additionally covered by the programs under the Commodity Title, and specialty and horticultural crops like blueberries, onions, and tomatoes. Insurance generally covers losses from natural disasters such as drought and flood, and it protects against losses resulting from price and yield risks.
Subsidized policies are available on a county by county basis, based on the demand and actuarial viability of covering a given crop. 67% of the premium of a subsidized 50% coverage insurance policy is covered by the USDA Risk Management Agency, while the farmer pays the remaining 33% of the premium. If a farmer opts for upgraded coverage, their share of the total premium cost goes up; for example, a farmer that opts for 55% coverage will pay 36% of the premium while the government pays 64%, and for a 75% coverage policy the farmer will pay 45% while the government pays 55%.
Other insurance programs are authorized under Title XI. The Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX) provides upland cotton producers, whose product is not eligible for Title I commodity programs such as the Price Loss Coverage Program (USDA Risk Management Agency). STAX is a revenue-based insurance policy and payouts happen when there are revenue losses at the county level.
Meanwhile, the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) covers crops also protected by normal subsidized insurance (USDA Risk Management Agency). It is also based on expected county revenue and covers part of the deductible under the producer’s underlying policy. Government subsidies as a share of the policy premiums for these options are set at 80% for STAX and 65% for SCO.
Notably, some Title XI provisions revise the value of crop insurance for organic crops to reflect 
generally higher prices of organic (not conventional) crops, paying out based on those higher values rather than the non-organic benchmark prices. Eligibility for crop insurance premium subsidies is linked to compliance with wetland and conservation requirements; specifically, to be eligible for crop insurance growers must not plant or produce an agricultural commodity on highly erodible land without following an National Resource Conservation Service approved conservation plan or system, plant or produce an agricultural commodity on a converted wetland, or convert a wetland to make the production of an agricultural commodity possible.
Although there are no new programs under Title XI in the 2018 Farm Bill, it expands insurance coverage for less traditional crops like irrigated grain sorghum, irrigated rice production, citrus crops, hops, and industrial hemp (USDA ERS). It also adds and improves policies to insure greenhouse production, local foods, and subsurface or limited irrigation practices. The Crop Insurance Title increasingly covers speciality crops, however, “major field crops, such as corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, and wheat account for the most acreage protected by crop insurance” (Crop Insurance America).
