116-s-3980 116 s 3980 American Agriculture First Act Agriculture and Food 2020-06-17 2020-06-17 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Senate Sen. Loeffler, Kelly [R-GA] GA R L000594 0 American Agriculture First Act This bill requires the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to purchase at least 75% of an agricultural commodity for the Food Purchase and Distribution Program from domestically owned enterprises if it is necessary to respond to trade damage from retaliation by foreign nations with respect to the agricultural commodity. The requirement does not apply if the Department of Agriculture reports to Congress that meeting the requirement is not possible because the quantity of the agricultural commodity available from domestically owned enterprises cannot meet the supply needs of the AMS; or would result in a greater than 150% increase between the amount necessary to purchase the agricultural commodity, and the average cost of the agricultural commodity purchased by the AMS in the prior three years. The authority provided by this bill expires on September 30, 2023. 2023-01-11T13:46:14Z
