Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Secretary of Agriculture to create, within 180 days, a program that connects people who want to stop farming with people who want to become farmers. The program would keep a database of both groups, help transfer farm businesses and land between them, and publish guidance on these transfers. The program would end after 5 years unless the Secretary extends it for another 5 years. The Secretary would have to send regular reports to the House and Senate agriculture committees and a final report after the program ends.
