What the document says

“by striking ``option of receiving'' and all that follows through the period at the end and inserting the following: ``option of receiving, before the agricultural producer carries out the repair, replacement, or restoration”

To amend the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 to remove barriers to agricultural producers in accessing funds to carry out emergency measures under the emergency conservation program, and for other purposes, Sec. 2

Clause (ii) of the amendment to paragraph (1) of subsection (b). It strikes the words "option of receiving" and everything following them to the end of the paragraph, and inserts in their place the words quoted here together with the two subparagraphs recorded below. The inserted words place the option before the agricultural producer carries out the repair, replacement, or restoration. The two subparagraphs then set the share of the cost each kind of work draws. What the option is and who gives it are set by section 401, which is not indexed here.

What the document actually says

“by striking ``option of receiving'' and all that follows through the period at the end and inserting the following: ``option of receiving, before the agricultural producer carries out the repair, replacement, or restoration”

That sentence, in plain words

Some old words are cut out of the law. New words go in. They let a farmer take the money first. It comes before the work is done.

What this is about

The work can be a fix. It can be a swap for a new one. It can be putting land back. The next two rules set how much comes first.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
