Young Farmer Success Act

This bill would change federal student loan law so that certain farm and ranch workers count as public service workers for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program under the Federal Direct Loan program. A person would qualify if they work full time doing farm work as an employee or manager of a qualified farm or ranch. A qualified farm or ranch is one that earns at least $35,000 in gross revenue from selling agricultural products in 2026. That dollar amount would rise each later year based on the estimated change in the Consumer Price Index.
