Bill overview
The Agricultural Emergency Relief Act of 2023 aims to provide financial assistance to farmers who have experienced crop losses due to disasters. It establishes a new program within the USDA to offer payments to producers during each crop year if they’ve incurred a ‘qualified loss’ – such as those caused by drought, wildfire, or flooding – and meet certain insurance requirements. To receive these payments, producers must purchase crop insurance or participate in the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program for the following two years. The bill also outlines how payments will be calculated, considering revenue and previous assistance received.
