More Information 

Marketing Assistance Loans provide interim financing to producers so that commodities can be stored after harvest when market prices are typically low and sold later when market conditions may be more favorable. The 2018 Farm Bill extended the Marketing Assistance Loan program, making production for the 2019 through 2023 crops eligible for loan benefits. The Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024, was authorized on Nov. 16, 2023, extending the 2018 Act for the 2024 crop year. A one-year extension of the 2018 Farm Bill contained within the American Relief Act, 2025, signed on Dec. 21, 2024, authorized an extension of the Marketing Assistance Loan and other farm bill provisions for 2025 crops. 

The CCC’s domestic agricultural price and income support programs are carried out primarily through the personnel and facilities of FSA and AMS.
