Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to issue regulations to: (1) provide for nonrecourse loans on basic agricultural commodities at such levels as will reflect a fair return to the farm producer above the cost of production; (2) provide for payment by the purchaser, rather than by appropriation, for basic commodities sold for domestic use; and (3) enable producers of any basic agricultural commodity to produce the amount needed for domestic consumption, to maintain the pipeline, and to regain and retain by competitive sales the normal U.S. share of the world market. Requires the Secretary to: (1) determine on a case-by-case basis, which agricultural borrowers are unable to continue making principal and interest payments as a result of embargoes on the sale of U.S. agricultural products or the failure to offer surplus commodities for sale in world markets at competitive prices; (2) suspend such payments and forego foreclosure on Government loans to such borrowers for 12 months or until an adjustment is agreed upon; and (3) request other creditors of such borrowers to postpone payments due.
