Opportunities for Fairness in Farming Act of 2025

This bill sets new rules for agricultural checkoff programs, which are programs run under the Department of Agriculture that promote and research specific farm products like beef, cotton, or watermelons without favoring particular brands. It says that larger checkoff boards cannot hire organizations that try to influence government agricultural policy, and it stops board members from doing things like acting on conflicts of interest, hurting competition, or saying negative things about other farm products. The bill also requires these boards to publicly share their budgets and spending, and it calls for official government audits of checkoff programs.
