What this bill does

  • The bill expands federal compensation to poultry farmers in disease control areas, including those with uninfected birds.

  • Compensation is based on average income from the five most recent flocks and is administered by APHIS.

    How should the federal government balance compensating uninfected farmers in disease zones with the costs and incentives of the current indemnification system?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that compensating disease-free poultry operations in control areas effectively prevents economic collapse in affected regions?

  3. 03

    Should compensation be based on recent flock income as proposed, or would alternative calculation methods better serve farmers with variable earnings?
