Exclude Biofuel Crops from CCC

Summary#

This bill would change section 5 of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714c). It inserts the phrase "or crops used to produce biofuel (including any infrastructure relating to such crops)" after the word "tobacco" every place that word appears in that section.
