2014 Farm Bill Overview
A new farm law, the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Act), was signed on February 7, 2014, and will remain in force through 2018—and in the case of some provisions, beyond 2018.
The 2014 Farm Act makes major changes in commodity programs, adds new crop insurance options, streamlines conservation programs, modifies some provisions of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and expands programs for specialty crops, organic farmers, bioenergy, rural development, and beginning farmers and ranchers.
I. Commodity Programs
Repeals Direct Payments, Countercyclical Payments, and the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program.
Creates two new programs—Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC). Producers of covered commodities can choose to enroll in one of the two programs.
Upland cotton producers are not eligible for PLC or ARC, but they are eligible for a new crop insurance product under Title XI—the Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX). Cotton producers will receive transition payments while new STAX policies are implemented (see Crop Insurance Overview for further details).
Revises payment limitations and adjusted gross income eligibility rules.
Continues the marketing assistance loan program unchanged, except for an adjustment in the loan rate for upland cotton.
Continues the sugar program unchanged
Price Loss Coverage
Payments are provided to producers with base acres of wheat, feed grains, rice, oilseeds, peanuts, and pulses (covered commodities) on a commodity-by-commodity basis when market prices fall below the reference price.
The payment rate is the difference between the reference price and the annual national-average market price (or marketing assistance loan rate, if higher). For each covered commodity enrolled on the farm, the payment amount is the payment rate, times 85 percent of base acres of the commodity, times payment yield.
PLC Reference Prices
Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC)
Producers may choose county-based or individual coverage. For producers choosing county-based ARC, payments are provided to producers with base acres of covered commodities on a commodity-by-commodity basis when county crop revenue (actual average county yield times national farm price) drops below 86 percent of the county benchmark revenue (5-year Olympic average county yield times 5-year Olympic average of national price or the reference price—whichever is higher for each year), calculated separately for irrigated and non-irrigated crops.
Payment Limitations
Payments are limited to $125,000 for each individual actively engaged in farming, without specific limits for individual programs.
A spouse may receive an additional $125,000. The limitation is applied to the total of payments for covered commodities from the PLC and ARC programs, and marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments under the marketing assistance loan program

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
