Defend American Agriculture Act
The Defend American Agriculture Act increases the maximum funding limit for the Commodity Credit Corporation from $30 billion to $45 billion for the period through September 30, 2031. This change directly affects the corporation, which provides loans and payments to American farmers and ranchers. The bill allows the agency to access more capital to support agricultural producers during this timeframe before reverting to the original $30 billion cap afterward.
