Agricultural Commodities Price Enhancement Act

The Agricultural Commodities Price Enhancement Act aims to significantly increase the reference prices for a selection of major agricultural commodities under the Agricultural Act of 2014. This legislation proposes to amend existing statutes to provide greater financial stability and support for farmers by adjusting the price floors for these crops. Key provisions include raising the reference price for wheat from $5.50 to $6.50 per bushel, corn from $3.70 to $4.20 per bushel, and soybeans from $8.40 to $10.00 per bushel. Additionally, the bill increases the reference price for peanuts from $535.00 to $635.00 per ton and for seed cotton from $0.367 to $0.45 per pound, directly impacting producers of these commodities.
