Payments would cover necessary expenses tied to revenue losses and to quality or production losses. To qualify, you would need to produce covered commodities, specialty crops, livestock, or poultry. You would also need an invested interest in input expenses and be actively engaged in farming under section 1001A. The Agriculture Secretary would set program terms and rules.
