S.984

Fair Access to Agriculture Disaster Programs Act exempts certain agricultural entities from payment limitations.

The Fair Access to Agriculture Disaster Programs Act amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to exempt certain agricultural entities from payment limitations. Specifically, it removes the limitation on payments or benefits for entities where at least 75% of their average adjusted gross income comes from farming, ranching, or silviculture activities. This includes agritourism, direct-to-consumer marketing, and the sale of agricultural equipment. The changes apply to payments or benefits under the Agricultural Act of 2014 and the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996.
