Key Points

  • This bill would create a new training program for government workers and partners who help farmers manage their land. The goal is to teach them the latest science on how to keep soil healthy and productive.
  • The program would include online classes and in-person workshops held across the country every two years. It would cover topics like organic farming, grazing, and how to use less expensive chemicals by improving the soil naturally.
  • The Department of Agriculture would work with experienced farmers, universities, and nonprofit groups to build the lessons. They would also include special training on traditional tribal farming methods and how to help small or new farmers.
  • If passed, the government would spend $10 million between 2027 and 2032 to run the program. This ensures that the people giving advice to American farmers have the most up-to-date information on protecting the environment and staying profitable.
