Department of Agriculture10.051Commodity Loans and Loan Deficiency PaymentsTo improve and stabilize farm income, to assist in bringing about a better balance between supply and demand of the commodities, and to assist farmers in the orderly marketing of their crops. Marketing assistance loans provide producers interim financing at harvest time to meet cash flow needs without having to sell their commodities when market prices are typically at harvest-time lows. Allowing producers to store production at harvest facilitates more orderly marketing of commodities throughout the year. Market loan repayment provisions specify, under certain circumstances, that producers may repay loans at less than principal plus accrued interest and other charges. Alternatively, loan deficiency payment (LDP) provisions specify that, in lieu of securing a loan, producers may be eligible for an LDP. Both programs allow a producer flexibly to market commodities while providing cashflow.https://sam.gov/fal/718956178a834b1e9abbba98fd91b51a/viewhttps://www.usaspending.gov/search/?hash=b66f510194df06e3c91ae20e101af997

Department of Agriculture10.053Dairy Indemnity Payment ProgramTo protect dairy operations and manufacturers of dairy products who through no fault of their own, are directed to remove their milk or dairy products from commercial markets because of contamination from pesticides which have been approved for use by the Federal government. Dairy operations can also be indemnified because of contamination with chemicals or toxic substances, nuclear radiation or fallout. Affected dairy operations provide documentation of the dumped milk losses and are paid through DIPP for the full value of the dumped milk. Additionally, DIPP has the authority to indemnify cows that are permanently contaminated due to a chemical contamination. DIPP has successfully compensated dairy operations for many decades for dumped milk losses due to contamination issues.https://sam.gov/fal/2d9e7e6d78e94255ab3d965749c7e2c4/viewhttps://www.usaspending.gov/search/?hash=ce686d51702390e6843ca4e7b9893501

Department of Agriculture10.089Livestock Forage Disaster ProgramThe objective of LFP is to provide financial assistance from the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund (Trust Fund). The Secretary of Agriculture (henceforth the Secretary) has the authority to use sums from the Trust Fund to provide compensation to livestock producers who suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire. For drought, the losses must have occurred because of a qualifying drought during the normal grazing period for the county on land that is native or improved pastureland with permanent vegetative cover or is planted to a crop planted specifically for grazing covered livestock. For fire, LFP provides payments to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses on range land managed by a Federal agency if the eligible livestock producer is prohibited by the Federal agency from grazing the normal permitted livestock on the managed range land because of a qualifying fire. Eligible grazing losses must have occurred on or after January 1, 2008, and before October 1, 2011. The eligible grazing losses must occur within the same calendar year for which benefits are being requested.

ATRA provides extending benefits to livestock producers for grazing losses due to drought and wildfires on Federal lands through September 30, 2013, subject to appropriations.

This was followed by the August 16, 2022, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Section 22006 of this law provided additional funding to provide relief for distressed borrowers with certain FSA direct and guaranteed loans and expedited assistance to agricultural operations at risk.
Throughout the pandemic USDA has provided vital support to farmers and ranchers experiencing a variety of hardships from natural disasters to supply chain disruption. Many producers are not aware that receiving funds from USDA through activities such as an EQIP contract, disaster payments, and the pending debt relief legislation payments creates a tax liability for their farm business. Taxpayer education has been a longstanding issue in the agricultural community. USDA frequently works with historically underserved, beginning, and limited resource producers who lack access to legal and certified public accounting services or who are unfamiliar with agricultural accounting best practices. To address these issues the Farm Service Agency (FSA), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is partnering with cooperators to develop and deliver taxpayer education to producers and key stakeholders. These agreements will support the creation of educational ag tax resources for agricultural producers who receive USDA payments.

Department of Agriculture10.163Market Protection and PromotionThe Federal Seed Program prevents mislabeled seed from moving in interstate commerce by providing for random sampling of seeds to insure accurate labeling of seed characteristics. The Pesticide Data Program works with participating States to collect and analyze data on pesticide use and residue levels for selected commodities in the nation's food supply. This program provides statistically based data to Federal agencies for use in making policy decisions for regulatory and educational purposes. Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) is a labeling law that requires retailers (ie grocery stores) to notify their customers of the country of origin for covered commodities: muscle cut and ground meats for lamb, goat, and chicken; wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish (including method of production); fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables; peanuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and ginseng. The National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (NBFDS) requires food manufacturers, importers and other entities that label foods for retail sale to disclose information about bioengineered (BE) foods and BE food ingredients. This program requires AMS regulatory authorities to respond to stakeholder inquiries, monitor complaints and enforce labeling requirements. An annual update is required to the List of Bioengineered Foods (List) that tells regulated entities which foods they must keep records for and which foods may require BE disclosures. This program provides scientific fellowships that monitor the development of new technologies and contributes to BE policy decisions.https://sam.gov/fal/59920db0f601409e83d71b698994776a/viewhttps://www.usaspending.gov/search/?hash=96157f4b382dc49c2ac5e881d2147d40
