Summary
This bill amends the Specialty Crops Competitiveness Act of 2004 to establish a five-year pilot program providing federal payments to producers of seasonal and perishable crops (asparagus, bell peppers, blueberries, cucumbers, and squash) when market prices fall below a reference price due to imports. Eligible producers must have average adjusted gross income under $5 million and derive at least 75 percent of income from farming. Payment amounts are calculated based on the difference between reference and effective prices multiplied by the producer's average production over five years. The program authorizes $200 million annually in appropriations.
