1Opinion of the Court
PRADO, Circuit Judge:
This is a bankruptcy case. The issue is whether a crop-disaster-relief payment authorized by legislation enacted after the debtor filed for bankruptcy is property of the bankruptcy estate. A panel of this court held that it is not, following which the court voted to consider the case en banc. After hearing argument and considering supplemental briefing by the parties as well as law professors serving as amici curiae,1 a majority of the court agrees -with the panel decision. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the district court.

The facts are short and undisputed.…
