Payment yields are set for the new acres from crop year 2026
What the document says“Beginning with crop year 2026, for the purpose of making price loss coverage payments under section 1116, the Secretary shall establish payment yields to base acres allocated under this subsection equal to--”
The section requires the Secretary, from crop year 2026, to set payment yields for the newly allocated base acres equal to the payment yield already established on the farm for that covered commodity, or, where none exists, to the county average payment yield for that commodity or a yield determined under section 1113(c) of the Agricultural Act of 2014.
What the document actually says“Beginning with crop year 2026, for the purpose of making price loss coverage payments under section 1116, the Secretary shall establish payment yields to base acres allocated under this subsection equal to--”
From crop year 2026 the Secretary must set a yield for the new acres. That yield feeds into price loss payments.
A payment yield is the crop per acre a payment assumes. The farm's own yield is used first. If it has none, the county average is used.
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.
