Fair Access to Agriculture Disaster Programs Act

Introduced·3/14/25

Fair Access to Agriculture Disaster Programs Act establishes an exception to certain payment limitations for those deriving income from agriculture.

The Fair Access to Agriculture Disaster Programs Act amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to create an exception to certain payment limitations for individuals or legal entities deriving more than 75% of their income from farming, ranching, or silviculture activities. This includes agri-tourism and direct-to-consumer marketing of agricultural products. The act modifies the Food Security Act to exempt these entities from specific payment limitations during a crop, fiscal, or program year.
