Patricia Jensen
Hill as 10/11 of
Acting Assistant Secretary for
Marketing and Regulatory Programs
SUBJECT:
Use of Section 32 Funds to Pay Processing and Distribution Charges Related
to Gleaned Commodities
ISSUE:
PHOTOCOPY
Potential legislative initiative to support gleaning activities.
PRESERVATION
BACKGROUND:
In a time of decreasing Federal resources, it is increasingly more difficult for emergency
feeding organizations (food banks, soup kitchens, etc.) to obtain sufficient food supplies to
meet the food assistance needs of needy Americans. For example, bonus commodities
available from the Commodity Credit Corporation, once available in bountiful supplies, have
been all but eliminated. Private industry donations are down significantly due to the
implementation of sophisticated inventory and ordering controls and improved packaging.
However, much food is wasted in the field. We are aware of several private non-profit
organizations which locate agricultural commodities that growers are willing to donate.
We would like to establish a public/private partnership that would help identify and obtain
these available supplies of food for needy individuals.
DISCUSSION:
Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 authorizes the Secretary's surplus commodity
removal activities. Section 32 funds could be used to pay the costs to process and distribute
gleaned and salvaged commodities to the extent that: (a) the commodities are determined to
be in surplus, (b) the gleaning or salvage constitutes a diversion from the normal channels of
trade or commerce or increases utilization, and (c) the commodities are distributed only to
persons in low-income groups.

DECISION MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY
2
For commodities which do not meet these criteria, legislation should be sought to give the
Secretary authority to use Section 32 funds to pay processing and distribution charges related
to these commodities as well.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend that the attached legislative proposal to authorize the use of Section 32 funds
to pay the costs to process, package and deliver gleaned commodities that are not determined
to be in surplus be included in the Administration's Farm Bill Proposal.
