Summary

Official

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow an income tax credit for charitable contributions of any agricultural product to tax-exempt organizations.

Requires that the donated agricultural product be unsalable at a price which would enable the taxpayer to recover his costs and that it be fit for human consumption.
