What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill gives the Department of Agriculture the ability to support networks where farmers help and teach other farmers. USDA could make agreements with nonprofits, tribal groups, local governments, colleges, and others to build these networks, connect farmers with mentors, and provide learning opportunities for farmers, ranchers, and forest owners who use different farming methods. The bill requires USDA to give priority to efforts that serve farmers and ranchers who have historically been underserved or who work in high-poverty areas. It also allows smaller grants to be given out for planning events and developing new ways to help farmers connect with and learn from each other.
