Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC)

The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) is a government agency that supports American farmers and the agricultural economy. It provides financial assistance through loans, payments, and purchasing surplus crops to stabilize prices and ensure farmers can cover their costs. The CCC helps manage agricultural market fluctuations and promotes food security by acting as a financial safety net for farmers during tough times. It operates within the U.S. Department of Agriculture and uses funds from the U.S. Treasury to achieve these goals.
