Community College Agriculture Advancement Act of 2025

This bill lets the U.S. Department of Agriculture give out competitive grants to community colleges and two-year public colleges that offer agriculture-related training, education, research, and outreach. Priority for the grants goes to colleges that work with local agriculture businesses to give students hands-on training and other learning opportunities. The grant money can be used for things like buying equipment, helping teachers grow professionally, and creating apprenticeships or other work-based learning programs. Colleges can also apply to be named a "Center of Excellence for Agriculture Advancement," which comes with extra funding to showcase farming best practices and help build capacity at a regional or national level.
