Commodity Credit Corporation

The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) is a U.S. government agency that helps support farmers and stabilize agricultural markets. It provides financial assistance, loans, and price support programs to ensure farmers can sell their crops at fair prices, especially during times of surplus or low market demand. The CCC also manages emergency and conservation programs, safeguarding agricultural resources and promoting stability within the farming sector. Essentially, it acts as a safety net to help farmers manage risks and maintain a steady food supply for the country.
