Stop paying farmers twice for the same loss

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 10, p. 297. Written by Daren Bakst.

Stop paying farmers twice for the same loss

The document says “shouldWho acts: CongressHow: legislationp. 297 in the PDF
What the document says

“Congress should prohibit this duplication by prohibiting farmers from receiving an ARC or PLC payment the same year they receive a crop insurance indemnity.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 297

The chapter states that farmers can receive support from the Agriculture Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage programs and from federal crop insurance for price declines and revenue shortfalls in the same year.

What the document actually says

“Congress should prohibit this duplication by prohibiting farmers from receiving an ARC or PLC payment the same year they receive a crop insurance indemnity.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 297
That sentence, in plain words

A farmer can be paid twice for one bad year. Congress should stop that.

What this is about

A farmer can claim from two programs at once. Both cover the same loss. The book says only one should pay.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book 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.
