To amend the Agricultural Act of 2014 to allow for the advance payment of assistance under Tree Assistance Program, and for other purposes.

This bill changes the Tree Assistance Program, which helps eligible orchard owners and nursery tree growers who lose trees. It would let the Secretary of Agriculture pay part of that assistance in advance. The advance payment could be up to 25 percent of the total assistance owed. It could be paid before the grower begins replanting the lost trees.
