TITLE IX—AGRICULTURAL 
ASSISTANCE 
SEC. 9001. CROP DISASTER ASSISTANCE. 
(a) ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE.—There are hereby appro-
priated to the Secretary of Agriculture such sums as are 
necessary, to remain available until expended, to make 
emergency financial assistance available to producers on a 
farm that incurred qualifying quantity or quality losses for 
the 2005, 2006, or 2007 crop, due to damaging weather or 
any related condition (including losses due to crop diseases, 
insects, and delayed planting), as determined by the Sec-
retary. However, to be eligible for assistance, the crop sub-
ject to the loss must have been planted before February 28, 
2007, or, in the case of prevented planting or other total 
loss, would have been planted before February 28, 2007, in
230
the absence of the damaging weather or any related condi-
tion. 
(b) ELECTION OF CROP YEAR.—If a producer incurred 
qualifying crop losses in more than one of the 2005, 2006, 
or 2007 crop years, the producer shall elect to receive assist-
ance under this section for losses incurred in only one of 
such crop years. The producer may not receive assistance 
under this section for more than one crop year. 
(c) ADMINISTRATION.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para-
graph (2), the Secretary of Agriculture shall make as-
sistance available under this section in the same man-
ner as provided under section 815 of the Agriculture, 
Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 (Pub-
lic Law 106–387; 114 Stat. 1549A–55), including 
using the same loss thresholds for quantity and eco-
nomic losses as were used in administering that sec-
tion, except that the payment rate shall be 42 percent 
of the established price, instead of 65 percent. 
(2) LOSS THRESHOLDS FOR QUALITY LOSSES.—
In the case of a payment for quality loss for a crop 
under subsection (a), the loss thresholds for quality 
loss for the crop shall be determined under subsection 
(d).
231
(d) QUALITY LOSSES.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Subject to paragraph (3), the 
amount of a payment made to producers on a farm 
for a quality loss for a crop under subsection (a) shall 
be equal to the amount obtained by multiplying—
(A) 65 percent of the payment quantity de-
termined under paragraph (2); by 
(B) 42 percent of the payment rate deter-
mined under paragraph (3). 
(2) PAYMENT
QUANTITY.—For the purpose of 
paragraph (1)(A), the payment quantity for quality 
losses for a crop of a commodity on a farm shall 
equal the lesser of—
(A) the actual production of the crop af-
fected by a quality loss of the commodity on the 
farm; or 
(B) the quantity of expected production of 
the crop affected by a quality loss of the com-
modity on the farm, using the formula used by 
the Secretary of Agriculture to determine quan-
tity losses for the crop of the commodity under 
subsection (a). 
(3) PAYMENT RATE.—For the purpose of para-
graph (1)(B) and in accordance with paragraphs (5) 
and (6), the payment rate for quality losses for a crop
232
of a commodity on a farm shall be equal to the dif-
ference between—
(A) the per unit market value that the units 
of the crop affected by the quality loss would 
have had if the crop had not suffered a quality 
loss; and 
(B) the per unit market value of the units 
of the crop affected by the quality loss. 
(4) ELIGIBILITY.—For producers on a farm to be 
eligible to obtain a payment for a quality loss for a 
crop under subsection (a), the amount obtained by 
multiplying the per unit loss determined under para-
graph (1) by the number of units affected by the qual-
ity loss shall be at least 25 percent of the value that 
all affected production of the crop would have had if 
the crop had not suffered a quality loss. 
(5) MARKETING CONTRACTS.—In the case of any 
production of a commodity that is sold pursuant to 
one or more marketing contracts (regardless of wheth-
er the contract is entered into by the producers on the 
farm before or after harvest) and for which appro-
priate documentation exists, the quantity designated 
in the contracts shall be eligible for quality loss assist-
ance based on the one or more prices specified in the 
contracts.
