Agricultural Act of 2026

This bill extends and changes many U.S. Department of Agriculture programs through fiscal year 2031, covering farm commodities, conservation, trade, nutrition, credit, rural development, research, forestry, energy, and crop insurance. Among its changes, it ends the administrative fee for the dairy margin coverage program and lets dairy operations cover their first 6,000,000 pounds of milk without paying a premium. It expands farm storage facility loans to include propane and fertilizer storage. It sets a framework for direct emergency payments to specialty crop growers hit by adverse events and allows disaster aid to be given to states as block grants. It also changes livestock and tree disaster assistance rules, including adding panthers and Mexican Gray Wolves to covered predator attacks.
