Supported S. 3918, the Paycheck Protection for Producers Act and companion bill, H.R. 7175. This bill addresses one of the major hurdles for sole proprietors who file a Schedule F by allowing farmers and ranchers to use their 2019 Schedule F gross income (up to $100,000) when calculating their PPP loan rather than 2019 net income. The bill would also allow farmers and ranchers who received a PPP loan using their 2019 net income to recalculate their loan award using 2019 gross income if it would result in a larger loan amount. Supported both the Payment Protection Program (PPP) and Emergency Industry Disaster Loan (EIDL). Worked to ensure that there was a small lender set aside and H2A employees for eligible to be counted when making application for PPP. Also, worked to ensure that all types of agriculture businesses were eligible for EIDL grants/loans, specifically with regard to those who are self employed and sole proprietors. Economic Injury Disaster Loans: Extends eligibility to agricultural enterprises, as defined by section 18(b) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 647(b)) and have 500 or fewer employees to participate in the EIDL. The definition mentioned above is: (b) As used in this Act, the term agricultural enterprises means those small business concerns engaged in the production of food and fiber, ranching, and raising of livestock, aquaculture, and all other farming and agricultural-related industries. Provides $60 billion for the EIDL program. Paycheck Protection Program: Provides $320 billion for the PPP. While AFBF supports this funding, we are asking Congress to include the corrections that AFBF shared to improve the programs assistance for agricultural producers and support eligibility for tax-exempt agricultural organizations that assist farmers and ranchers in the next round of legislation. Small Lender Set-Aside: The bill creates a $60 billion set-aside for Insured Depository Institutions, Credit Unions, and Community Financial Institutions for the PPP. However, the set-aside does not include the Farm Credit System.
