For this program, $10,000,000 is authorized for the three-year period beginning October 1, 1989, in addition to other available funds. Any Farmer‑to‑Farmer activities must be paid only with funds authorized here and local currencies made available under section 5425, and not with funds provided under section 1107 of the Food Security Act of 1985 or a similar later law.
