As a result of changes to the ADA made by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, it is now much easier for individuals with a wide range of impairments to establish that they are individuals with disabilities and entitled to the ADA's protections.
Definition of cash crop. : a readily salable crop (such as cotton or tobacco) produced or gathered primarily for market.
Under the crop lien system, farmers could get fertilizer, farming equipment, groceries, and other goods by giving merchants a lien on their cash crops, the most desirable being cotton and tobacco. By providing credit until crops were harvested, merchants were allowed to charge higher prices for such purchases-usually adding a markup of 20 to 50 percent, but in some cases much higher.
