If all of the producers on a farm make the election under section 6(a) to obtain price loss coverage, or are deemed to have made that election under section 6(c)(2), the Secretary shall make price loss coverage payments to producers on the farm on a covered commodity-by-covered-commodity basis if the Secretary determines that, for any of the 2019 through 2023 crop years— the effective price for the covered commodity for the crop year; is less than the reference price for the covered commodity for the crop year.
Except as provided in paragraph (2), the effective price for a covered commodity for a crop year shall be the higher of— the national average market price received by producers during the 12-month marketing year for the covered commodity, as determined by the Secretary; or the national average loan rate for a marketing assistance loan for the covered commodity in effect for that crop year under subtitle B of title I of the Agricultural Act of 2014 ( 7 U.S.C. 9031 et seq.). The effective price for seed cotton for a crop year shall be equal to the marketing year average price for seed cotton, as calculated under subparagraph (B).
The marketing year average price for seed cotton for a crop year shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing— the sum obtained by adding— the product obtained by multiplying— the upland cotton lint marketing year average price; and the total United States upland cotton lint production, measured in pounds; and the product obtained by multiplying— the cottonseed marketing year average price; and the total United States cottonseed production, measured in pounds; by the sum obtained by adding— the total United States upland cotton lint production, measured in pounds; and the total United States cottonseed production, measured in pounds.
The payment rate shall be equal to the difference between— the reference price for the covered commodity; and the effective price determined under subsection
(b)for the covered commodity. If price loss coverage payments are required to be provided under this section for any of the 2019 through 2023 crop years for a covered commodity, the amount of the price loss coverage payment to be paid to the producers on a farm for the crop year shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying— the payment rate for the covered commodity under subsection (c); the payment yield for the covered commodity; and the payment acres for the covered commodity. If the Secretary determines under this section that price loss coverage payments are required to be provided for the covered commodity, the payments shall be made beginning October 1, or as soon as practicable thereafter, after the end of the applicable marketing year for the covered commodity. In determining the effective price for barley under subsection (b), the Secretary shall use the all-barley price. The Secretary shall provide a reference price with respect to temperate japonica rice in an amount equal to 115 percent of the amount established in clauses
(vii)and
(viii)of section 2(14)(B) in order to reflect price premiums.
