What this bill would do

These payments would apply to death losses incurred on or after January 1, 2025. The Secretary would provide these additional payments to eligible producers who experience losses exceeding normal mortality. Specific payment rates and amounts would be determined by the Secretary and the Administrator of the Farm Service Agency.
