This part lets farmers keep choosing between two farm programs through 2031. For the 2025 crop year the choice is made for them: they get whichever pays more. Coverage picked for 2025 carries on from 2027 through 2031.

What the document says
“in subsection (a), in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking "2023" and inserting "2031";”
The section amends section 1115 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9015) by striking 2023 and inserting 2031 in the matter preceding paragraph (1) of subsection (a). It also changes the words crop year or to crop year, and inserts a reference to the 2026 crop year after the reference to the 2019 crop year, in two places in subsection (c).
What the document actually says
“in subsection (a), in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking "2023" and inserting "2031";”
That sentence, in plain words
The year 2023 is taken out. The year 2031 is put in. The change is made near the top of the rule.
What this is about
The rule lets a farm pick one of two farm programs. The change carries that choice on for eight more years. The older law it sits in is not indexed 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.
The document says “shall apply”Who acts: Secretary of Agriculture, producers on a farmHow: statuteSec. 10303 in the PDF
What the document says
“the same coverage for each covered commodity on the farm for the 2027 through 2031 crop years as was applicable for the 2025 crop year.”
The section adds a new subparagraph (C) to paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of section 1115 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, applying to each covered commodity on a farm for the 2027 through 2031 crop years the same coverage that applied for the 2025 crop year.
What the document actually says
“the same coverage for each covered commodity on the farm for the 2027 through 2031 crop years as was applicable for the 2025 crop year.”
That sentence, in plain words
Each crop on the farm keeps the cover it had in 2025. That holds for the 2027 to 2031 crop years.
What this is about
The choice is not made afresh each year. What held in 2025 rolls on. A farm does not have to pick again.
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.
The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 10303 in the PDF
What the document says
“For the 2025 crop year, the Secretary shall, on a covered commodity-by-covered commodity basis, make the higher of price loss coverage payments under section 1116 and agriculture risk coverage county coverage payments under section 1117 to the producers on a farm”
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
“For the 2025 crop year, the Secretary shall, on a covered commodity-by-covered commodity basis, make the higher of price loss coverage payments under section 1116 and agriculture risk coverage county coverage payments under section 1117 to the producers on a farm”
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.

“is amended by striking "Crops for which the producer has elected under section 1116 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 to receive agriculture risk coverage and acres" and inserting "Acres".”
The section amends section 508(c)(4)(C)(iv) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508(c)(4)(C)(iv)) by striking the quoted words and inserting the single word Acres. That older provision is not indexed here, so this record states the change and stops.
What the document actually says
“is amended by striking "Crops for which the producer has elected under section 1116 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 to receive agriculture risk coverage and acres" and inserting "Acres".”
That sentence, in plain words
A long phrase is taken out of an older law. One word is put in its place. That word is Acres.
What this is about
The phrase named crops under the risk cover program. Taking it out leaves only acres. What that means in the older law is not recorded 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.
Each distinct thing the section does: the extension of the election years, the rule carrying 2025 coverage forward to the 2027 through 2031 crop years, the higher-of payment for the 2025 crop year, and the change to the crop insurance supplemental coverage option.
The mechanical edits that change crop year or to crop year, and that insert a reference to the 2026 crop year in two places, are described in the summary rather than recorded as separate proposals.
The section works by amending section 1115 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 and section 508 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act, neither of which is indexed here.
