The FSA may guarantee a loan to certain agricultural entities with an adjusted gross income of greater than $500,000 if such loan meets certain requirements.

Entities that apply for a loan or loan guarantee may request that the FSA provide an emergency grant of at least $20,000 upon application.

The bill provides funding for USDA to carry out a training program to provide FSA staff with appropriate training relating to economic injury loan processing and servicing.
