An amendment comprised of several amendments en bloc to require USDA to consult with the Education Department in establishing training and assistance programs for farmers with disabilities, and that the word "physical" be struck from the description of eligible disabled persons; to require USDA to submit a report to Congress containing specific proposals to reduce and simplify the paperwork and record-keeping required of agriculture producers and cooperatives who participate in the federal commodity programs, soil and water conservation programs, and other related programs administered by the USDA; and, to express the sense of the Congress that recipients of any farm subsidy, aid, or other federal assistance provided under the bill should purchase American-made equipment and products in expending that assistance.
