Bill overview
This bill amends the Specialty Crops Competitiveness Act of 2004 to establish a Seasonal and Perishable Crop Loss Program. The program aims to provide financial assistance to farmers of seasonal and perishable crops when the effective price they receive is lower than a reference price due to imports. Eligibility is based on income levels and the proportion of income derived from farming, ranching, or forestry. The program will begin in 2027 and considers factors like harvest dates and national average market prices.
