The federal government would allocate money to the Department of Agriculture to pay farmers who grow specialty crops like fruits, vegetables, and nuts. These payments would help support producers of crops that are more perishable and market-sensitive than major commodities like corn and wheat. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Agriculture Committee.
