Bill > HR8488

This bill, the Farmer to Farmer Education Act of 2024, amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to expand the provision of farmer-led technical assistance. It establishes a "farmer-to-farmer network" program, allowing the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into cooperative agreements with eligible entities, such as nonprofits, farmer networks, and government agencies, to facilitate mentorship, training, and peer-to-peer learning opportunities for farmers, ranchers, and forest owners. The bill prioritizes assistance for historically underserved and high-poverty agricultural producers, aiming to increase access to science-based, site-specific conservation practices.
