Farm and Family Relief Act

This bill would delay by several years the shift of some food assistance (SNAP) benefit and administrative costs from the federal government to states. It would require the Secretary of Agriculture to make one-time 2025 payments to producers of certain crops when expected costs per acre exceed expected returns, capped at $125,000 or $250,000 per person or entity. It would provide $330 million in block grants for sugar beet producers, $5 billion for one-time specialty crop payments of up to $900,000 per producer, and $500 million in payments, grants, and loans for 2025 timber losses. It would also create a Forest Service Office of Technology Transfer and a $15 million timber export program. Finally, it would end tariffs imposed under four named executive orders and similar later orders.
