The refined beet sugar rate is tied to the raw cane rate
The document says “is amended”Who acts: Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 10312 in the PDF
What the document says
“a rate that is equal to 136.55 percent of the loan rate per pound of raw cane sugar under subsection (a)(6) for each of the 2025 through 2031 crop years.”
The section adds a new paragraph (3) to subsection (b) of section 156 of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 setting the rate at 136.55 percent of the raw cane sugar loan rate for each of the 2025 through 2031 crop years, and strikes 2023 and inserts 2031 in subsection (i).
What the document actually says
“a rate that is equal to 136.55 percent of the loan rate per pound of raw cane sugar under subsection (a)(6) for each of the 2025 through 2031 crop years.”
That sentence, in plain words
The rate is 136.55 percent of the raw cane sugar rate. That holds for the 2025 to 2031 crop years.
What this is about
The two rates are now linked. Move one and the other moves with it. Beet sugar is refined at the mill, so its rate runs higher.

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.
