The study would add topics such as apprenticeships and mentoring, state and federal policies that help or hinder farm transfers, heirs' property, barriers faced by historically underserved and women farmers, and land leasing and ownership trends, including by foreign persons. The commission's report deadline would move to 2 years after the bill becomes law, and its authorization would be extended through 2029.
