What the document says

“In the case of a farm for which the amount determined under clause (i) of subparagraph (B) is equal to zero, that farm shall be ineligible to receive an allocation of base acres under this subsection.”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 10302

The section makes a farm ineligible where the five-year average of acreage planted, or prevented from being planted, to covered commodities in the 2019 through 2023 crop years comes to zero.

What the document actually says

“In the case of a farm for which the amount determined under clause (i) of subparagraph (B) is equal to zero, that farm shall be ineligible to receive an allocation of base acres under this subsection.”

That sentence, in plain words

Some farms get nothing at all. Those are farms where one figure comes to zero.

What this is about

That figure counts covered crops planted from 2019 to 2023. A farm that grew none of them scores zero. Other crops do not help it here.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

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.
