To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 10303

The section adds a new subsection (i) to section 1115 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 requiring the Secretary, for the 2025 crop year and crop by crop, to pay the producers on a farm the higher of price loss coverage payments under section 1116 and agriculture risk coverage county coverage payments under section 1117, for the payment acres of each covered commodity on the farm.

What the document actually says

That sentence, in plain words

For the 2025 crop year the farm gets the bigger of two payments. The choice is made crop by crop.

What this is about

The two programs are price loss cover and risk cover. Normally a farm picks one. For this one year it gets whichever pays more.
