Financial Aid for Poultry Farmers Restricted by Disease Control Zones.

This law establishes a new financial aid system for poultry facility owners whose operations are halted due to federal disease control zones (like avian influenza outbreaks). Farmers prohibited from growing or laying birds in these zones will receive compensation based on their historical income. This measure aims to protect the financial stability of the agricultural sector during animal health crises.
Key points
Provides compensation for poultry facility owners prohibited from operating within federally designated disease "control areas."
Compensation is calculated based on the average income from the five most recent flocks, multiplied by the number of prohibited flocks.
Payments must be issued by the Secretary of Agriculture within 60 days after the farmer submits a compensation request.
