Title: Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers  
Abstract: TAA for Farmers provides free technical assistance in the development of business plans to producers of raw agricultural commodities who have been adversely affected by import competition. The plans are to serve as a guide for adjusting business operations to new economic conditions. TAA for Farmers also provides cash payments related to the development and implementation of an initial business plan and then long-term business adjustment plans. The revision of the existing regulation is necessary to comply with provisions under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which amends and reauthorizes the program. The new law changes eligibility requirements for groups of producers, benefits individual producers may receive, amounts of cash payments received, and the actions that must be taken before approval of cash payments.
