Balanced Agricultural Support and Efficiency Act

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture to do a one-time update of "base acres" for covered commodity crops on each farm. Base acres are used to figure certain federal farm support payments. The new base acres would be based on what was planted on the farm, or was prevented from being planted because of disasters or other conditions, during the 2020 through 2024 crop years, using a 5-year average. The bill would also remove the category of "generic base acres" from the law and make related wording changes.
