The Balanced Agricultural Support and Efficiency Act updates base acres for covered commodities to reflect recent planting history.
The Balanced Agricultural Support and Efficiency Act amends the Agricultural Act of 2014 to require a one-time update of base acres for covered commodities. This update ensures that base acres reflect recent planting history, including acreage planted and prevented from planting due to natural disasters. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Agriculture update base acres for the 2025 crop year, incorporating all five years of planting data from 2020 to 2024. This change aims to provide more accurate and fair support for farmers.
