In United States agricultural policy, other oilseed is defined in the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 101-171, Sec. 1001) 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 (LDPs).
