A bill to make storage space available for 1978 crop sugar.

Summary

Amends the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 to require, at the option of a sugar owner, acceleration of the maturity date of loans on 1977 crop sugar to August 31, 1978, or the date of enactment, whichever is earlier. Requires the Secretary of Agriculture, within 30 days after such maturity date, to move such sugar out of its present Commodity Credit Corporation storage warehouses in sugar-producing areas, and transport it to other areas, in oder to make way for storage of the 1978 crop under the price support loan program.
