Key Points

  • USDA would offer cost-share grants to help farmers and certain schools add rollover protection and seatbelts to older tractors.
  • Most grants would cover 70% of the cost to buy, ship, and install the rollover protection equipment on eligible tractors.
  • If the retrofit cost is more than $500, USDA could cover a higher share, based on rules the Agriculture Department sets.
  • USDA would hire one outside group to run applications, decide which tractors and equipment qualify, and operate a public website and phone hotline.
  • The bill authorizes $725,000 per year for 2027–2031, with most money going to grants and the rest to the website and hotline.
