Abstract: On August 14, 1989, President Bush signed the Disaster Assistance Act of 1989 (P.L. 101-82). The law provides assistance to crop and livestock producers who suffered losses from natural disasters in 1988 and 1989 which affected their 1989 harvest. At the same time, he signed P.L. 101-81 which permits planting of alternative crops on permitted acreage. This report describes these laws and explains the assistance available to different kinds of producers and the crops permitted to be planted.
