Posts - Bill - S 984 Fair Access to Agriculture Disaster Programs Act
senate 03/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to ensure that farmers, ranchers, and agriculture-based businesses have fair access to disaster relief by proposing legislation that modifies the Food Security Act of 1985. This bill provides an exception to payment limitations for individuals and entities that derive most of their income from agriculture, enabling them to better withstand financial challenges and continue contributing to our food supply and economy.

As long as the aid reaches actual farmers and not just corporate loopholes, it's worth considering.

If this helps small farmers thrive instead of just surviving, then it's about time!
