Law

This bill requires the Agriculture Department to create a new training program for government conservation workers and private farm advisors. These experts will learn the latest science on soil health so they can better help farmers and ranchers manage their land sustainably.
The training includes online classes and in-person workshops held every two years in different regions. The lessons will cover organic farming, ways to integrate livestock with crops, and how to use traditional ecological knowledge from Indian Tribes to keep the land healthy.
By focusing on soil health, the program aims to help farmers save money on expensive fertilizers and chemicals. Healthy soil also helps farms survive extreme weather, improves water quality, and keeps farmland productive for future generations.
The bill authorizes $10 million to fund the program from 2027 through 2032. It places a special focus on helping new, small-scale, and underserved farmers get the technical support they need to improve their operations.
