115-s-3586 115 s 3586 A bill to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to provide emergency payments to dairy producers. Agriculture and Food 2018-10-11 2018-10-11 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Senate Sen. Sanders, Bernard [I-VT] VT I S000033 0 This bill requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to issue emergency payments to dairy producers. USDA must develop criteria for the payments that give priority to producers who are: (1) located in a state with a high cost of dairy production compared to other states, and (2) on a farm with a high cost of dairy production based on the size of the farm. The emergency payments provided under this bill must be at least $10,000 but no greater than $20,000 per dairy operation. USDA must use $556 million in Commodity Credit Corporation funds to carry out this bill. The bill designates the spending as an emergency requirement pursuant to the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010 and the FY2018 congressional budget resolution. (This exempts the spending from various budget enforcement rules.) 2023-01-11T13:41:08Z
