House Democrats have filed a bill that would fund the government through December 11th. The proposal being released today removes the $30 billion in the original bill that would provide funds for the Commodity Cred Corporation. This is typically not an issue with Congress replenishing the CCC each year at $30 billion since 1987. Negotiations over the continuing resolution broke down over this funding on Friday. The CCC funds numerous farm programs, including the PLC and ARC programs, Dairy Margin Coverage, conservation programs and more. The CCC has also been used for Coronavirus Food Assistance Program and Market Facilitation Program payments in recent years.
