Agricultural Emergency Relief Act of 2024
This bill creates a direct payment program for farmers who suffered crop losses in 2023 due to weather disasters like droughts, wildfires, floods, or freezes, but did not receive insurance payouts. It covers specific losses including quality damage to crops (like wine grapes), prevented planting, and uninsured harvests. Payments will follow the same rules used for the 2020-2021 Emergency Relief Program, focusing only on losses not covered by federal crop insurance or the noninsured crop disaster program. The program requires full funding to cover eligible producers' documented losses from these 2023 events.
