Bill > HR1952

This bill, also known as the "Future FARMER Act," amends the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 to extend and increase funding for grants and fellowships in food and agricultural sciences education. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 1417(m) to add a new funding provision that allocates $40 million annually for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 to support education in agricultural sciences. This extension aims to provide continued financial support for educational programs and opportunities in the agricultural sector, helping to invest in the future of agricultural research, training, and professional development. By securing funding for these grants and fellowships, the bill seeks to ensure ongoing support for students and professionals in food and agricultural sciences, potentially helping to address workforce needs and promote innovation in the agricultural industry.
