What the document says
“Section 508(e)(2)(H)(i) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508(e)(2)(H)(i)) is amended by striking "65" and inserting "80".”
The section strikes 65 and inserts 80 in section 508(e)(2)(H)(i) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508(e)(2)(H)(i)). That older provision is not indexed here, so this record states the change and stops.
What the document actually says
“Section 508(e)(2)(H)(i) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1508(e)(2)(H)(i)) is amended by striking "65" and inserting "80".”
That sentence, in plain words
The number 65 is taken out of an older crop law. The number 80 is put in.
What this is about
The number sits in a rule about premium help. A bigger number there means the farmer pays less. The older law is not indexed here.

Each distinct thing the section does: the three new coverage ceilings, the two number changes in subparagraph (C), and the higher premium subsidy figure.
Nothing in the section is left out. All of its changes are recorded.
The section works by amending section 508 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act, which is not indexed here, so what the changed numbers do in the surrounding rules cannot be checked against anything on this site.
