Tariff Impacted Farmer Support Act of 2026

Subject to subsection (c), for each of crop years 2025 and 2026, the Secretary of Agriculture shall make economic assistance payments to qualifying producers for revenue losses with respect to covered commodities.

The Secretary shall make payments to each qualifying producer under subsection (a) using a formula determined by the Secretary in accordance with paragraph (2).

The formula determined under paragraph (1) shall—

(A) with respect to a crop year, be based on the difference between—

(i) the total revenue of a qualifying producer with respect to covered commodities for the preceding crop year; minus

(ii) the total revenue of such qualifying producer with respect to covered commodities for that crop year; and

(B) ensure that the total amount of payments made to qualifying producers under subsection (a) does not exceed the amount of funding specified in subsection (d).

A qualifying producer that receives an economic assistance payment under subsection (a) for revenue losses with respect to covered commodities for crop year 2025 may not receive a payment under such subsection for revenue losses with respect to covered commodities for crop year 2026.

Of the funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation, the Secretary shall use $15,000,000,000 to carry out this section in accordance with paragraph (2).

From the amount of funding specified in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall use to make payments under subsection (a)—

(A) $7,500,000,000 for crop year 2025; and

(B) $7,500,000,000 for crop year 2026.

The Secretary shall make payments under subsection (a)—

(A) not later than November 1, 2026, for crop year 2025; and

(B) not later than November 1, 2027, for crop year 2026.
