AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar federal agencies from giving federal financial benefits for building, expanding, or substantially rehabilitating data centers located on prime farmland or other farmland covered by the Farmland Protection Policy Act. The ban would apply to projects that begin after the bill becomes law. It also covers land that was farmland right before the project started.
