CRAWDAD Act

The CRAWDAD Act amends the Agricultural Act of 2014 to expand emergency assistance for farmers affected by weather disasters. It adds drought to the list of covered weather events and specifically includes losses from crawfish harvest due to adverse weather or drought. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to establish documentation standards for crawfish producers to verify harvest reductions and drought-related losses. This change directly benefits crawfish farmers and other livestock producers in regions impacted by drought or weather-related crop failures.
