Agricultural Emergency Relief Act of 2025

This bill would create a permanent Emergency Relief Program run by the Department of Agriculture to make payments to farmers and ranchers who lose crops, trees, bushes, or vines because of natural disasters like droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, floods, freezes, and other severe weather events. Losses from being unable to plant crops or from reduced crop quality due to disasters or wildfire smoke would also count. To get these payments, producers would have to buy federal crop insurance or similar coverage for the next two years. The program would be open to individuals and entities that already qualify for other federal disaster assistance programs, but not to joint ventures or general partnerships.
