Bill > S3058

This bill, called the "Support Our Farmers and Ranchers Act of 2025", provides one-time financial support to agricultural producers to help offset revenue and production losses. The bill defines eligible recipients as farmers and ranchers who are actively engaged in producing covered commodities, specialty crops, livestock, or poultry, and who have invested in input expenses. The Secretary of Agriculture will distribute $20 billion from qualifying tariff proceeds (revenues from new duties imposed after January 20, 2025) within 90 days of the act's enactment. To be eligible, producers must meet specific criteria under existing farming engagement regulations. The bill provides broad discretion to the Secretary to establish payment terms and conditions, and the funds will remain available until expended in fiscal year 2026. Key defined terms include covered commodities (such as crops for harvest or grazing), livestock (animals raised for meat or milk), and poultry (domestic fowl raised for meat or eggs), ensuring a comprehensive approach to supporting various types of agricultural producers.
