Farm Rescue Act of 2025
The Farm Rescue Act of 2025 modifies the Agricultural Act of 2014 to provide farmers growing covered commodities (like corn or soybeans) with advance partial payments for price loss coverage in the 2025 crop year. It allows farmers to choose a one-time partial payment (40-50% of the full projected payment) within 90 days of the bill’s enactment, followed by a subsequent payment later to cover the remaining balance. This change aims to improve cash flow for farmers by providing earlier access to funds they would otherwise receive after the crop year ends. The Secretary of Agriculture must issue implementing rules within 60 days, and overpayments may be recovered if eligibility changes.
