Economic Relief for Specialty Crops Act

This bill would provide $5 billion to the Secretary of Agriculture for fiscal year 2027 to make payments to farmers who grow specialty crops, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts. The money would be paid through the Department of Agriculture's Assistance for Specialty Crop Farmers program announced in February 2026, or a similar later program. The funds would stay available until spent. Payments would follow the terms and conditions in a January 2025 federal notice on marketing assistance for specialty crops.
