Bill > S1826

This bill amends the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 to expand the existing storage facility loan program by explicitly allowing agricultural producers to use funds for constructing or upgrading propane storage facilities. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that permits loans for storage facilities that hold propane primarily used in agricultural production, such as for drying crops, powering farm equipment, or heating agricultural buildings. The current law's loan program already supports producer storage facilities, and this amendment broadens the scope to include propane infrastructure. The bill's name, the GRAIN DRY Act (Growing Rural Agricultural Infrastructure Needs to Deliver Rising Yields Act), reflects its focus on supporting agricultural infrastructure and potentially improving agricultural productivity by making it easier for farmers to access and store propane, which is a critical fuel for many farming operations.
