Other oilseed

In United States agricultural policy, other oilseed, previously termed minor oilseeds, is defined in the 2002 farm bill as:

sunflower seed
rapeseed
canola
safflower
flaxseed
mustard seed
another oilseed if so designated by the Secretary of Agriculture.

Previous laws referred to these as minor oilseeds because of their comparatively small production compared to soybeans. These other oilseeds are eligible for Direct and [Counter-cyclical Program] payments and marketing assistance loans and loan [deficiency payments].
