CROPS, INSURANCE, AND THE YIELDS OF ARBITRATION.

Obeying current precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court, a State Supreme  Court held in a recent insurance case that if arbitration arises from a contract involving interstate commerce, it is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

That case involved the issue of arbitration of disputes arising under federally reinsured crop insurance contracts.  The Court held in that case that the issue plainly involves interstate commerce and, as such, is governed exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act.  Karo v. Nau Country Ins. Co., ___ Neb. ___, ___ N.W.2d ___, No. S-16-810, 2017 WL 4185426 (Neb. September 22, 2017).
