    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF FARM SECURITY AND RURAL INVESTMENT ACT OF 2002.

    (a) Crop Programs.--Every reference in title I of the Farm Security 
and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-171; 7 U.S.C. 7901 et 
seq.), or in an amendment made by such title, to the 2007 crop year or 
the 2007 crop of a commodity shall be deemed to also cover the 2008 
crop year and the 2008 crop of the same commodity. In the case of 
sections 1204(e)(1) and 1208(a) of such Act (7 U.S.C. 7934(e)(1), 
7938(a)), the references to July 31, 2008, shall be deemed to be July 
31, 2009.
    (b) Other Direct Spending Programs and Authorities.--For purposes 
of every direct spending program (as defined in section 250(c)(8) of 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (2 U.S.C. 
900(c)(8))) or other authority established or amended by the Farm 
Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-171), other 
than crop programs covered by subsection (a), every reference to 2007 
with regard to such programs or authority shall be deemed to refer 
instead to 2008. The funding level, acreage level, or tonnage level (as 
the case may be) specified for such a program or authority in such Act, 
or in an amendment made by such Act, for fiscal year 2007 shall also 
apply for fiscal year 2008.
    (c) Extension of Authorizations of Appropriations and Program 
Terminations.--Every authorization of appropriations contained in the 
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-171), or 
in an amendment made by such Act, that would otherwise expire on 
September 30, 2007, shall be deemed to expire on September 30, 2008. 
Every reference in such Act or in an amendment made by such Act to the 
termination of a program or authority in 2007 shall be deemed to refer 
instead to 2008.
    (d) Exception.--This section does not apply with respect to peanut 
storage costs under section 1307(a)(6) of the Farm Security and Rural 
Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 7957(a)(6)).
