Supported H.R. 267, the 2020 WHIP+ Reauthorization Act, with an Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute (ANS) that qualifies both the 2020 and 2021 crop year for coverage. Specifically, the ANS would authorize the Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+), the WHIP+ Milk Loss Program, and the On-Farm Storage Loss Program, for 2020 and 2021, subject to appropriation. It will expand the causes of loss in WHIP+ and improve its administration. Highlights of HR 267 include: Causes of loss: Maintains the causes of loss that were included for 2018 and 2019 Specifically refers to: smoke taint in wine grapes due to wildfires; high winds; derechos; excessive heat; freeze (including a polar vortex). Expands the drought trigger from D3 on the drought monitor to a Secretarial drought designation (which is D2 for eight consecutive weeks), or more severe, and contiguous counties. Includes losses due to other disruptions (including power outages or curtailments) associated with the effects of a qualifying disaster event. Administrative Improvements: Continues the requirement that participants in this program must purchase crop insurance coverage of at least 60%, or NAP where insurance isnt available, for two years after receiving assistance. Includes language intended to simplify the program, including by directing USDA to streamline the application process and to reduce the workload of county offices. Use of net indemnities - under the existing WHIP+ rules, the payment calculation accounts for the actual value received and any gross crop insurance indemnity. The ANS would account for the producer-paid premium in the calculation. Unharvested acres are treated in the same manner as under NAP. Clarifies that all insured acreage shall be eligible, regardless of whether such acreage is the initial acreage or not. On payment limitations, the ANS maintains the existing regulations, with some exceptions: Specialty crops or higher value crops are subject to the 2017 WHIP payment limitations; Average Adjusted Gross Income is based on the 2017 - 2019 tax years; Limits are renewed for each of 2020 and 2021; and CFAP specialty entity rules apply for operations structured as corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, trusts, and estates. Includes a mechanism for payments to be made to producers through sugar processors and dairy coops. Continues the authority for USDA to provide payments in the form of block grants. Provides for an authorization of appropriations of $8.5 billion over the 2020 and 2021 timeframe, along with a set aside of funds for administration of the program. Started preparatory work on 2023 farm bill. Identified gaps in existing programs, specifically FSA relief programs and why Oregon growers are having trouble meeting eligibility requirements for extreme weather events. HR 4310, Minks in Narrowly Kept Spaces are Superspreaders Act, which would amend the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to prohibit the import, export, transport, sale, receipt, acquirement, or purchase in interstate or foreign commerce of mink, and for other purposes. The bipartisan infrastructure legislation passed by the Senate and will soon be considered by the House includes several provisions important to the agriculture community. Infrastructure dollars in the Senate package include: $5 billion to help farmers, ranchers and communities respond to drought $870 million per year for the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program, which dedicates funding for rural communities facing budget shortfalls to address essential needs like schools and emergency services; $5 billion for key provisions of the Disaster Safe Power Grid Act to secure the power grid from extreme weather and natural disasters to prevent severe wildfires; $162 million for Klamath habitat restoration work through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service secured by Wyden and Senator Jeff Merkley; $6 billion for wildfire risk mitigation and forest health treatments, including an additional $100 million secured by Wyden for the Collaborative Forestry Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) ensuring that this funding can be used for existing projects. $65 billion to connect every American to high-quality, reliable broadband internet access Reviewed Executive Order addressing unfair markets, the right to repair, poultry tournament pay, Product of the USA labeling and also separately announced $500 million for regional meat packing expansion, as well as $100 million for FSIS Inspection Overtime Relief. The EO directs/encourages : *USDA to consider issuing new rules under the Packers and Stockyards Act making it easier for farmers to bring and win claims and adopting anti-retaliation protections for farmers who speak out about bad practices. *USDA to consider issuing new rules defining when meat can bear Product of USA labels, so that consumers have accurate, transparent labels that enable them to choose products made here. *USDA to develop a plan to increase opportunities for farmers to access markets and receive a fair return, including supporting alternative food distribution systems like farmers markets and developing standards and labels so that consumers can choose to buy products that treat farmers fairly. *FTC to limit powerful equipment manufacturers from restricting peoples ability to use independent repair shops or do DIY repairs-such as when tractor companies block farmers from repairing their own tractors.
