Caps payments for farmers in conservation programs and sets new funding rules.
This bill would lower the maximum amount farmers can receive from a government conservation program called EQIP to $150,000. It would also set new, specific percentages for how much the government would pay for different conservation practices. These changes aim to adjust how federal money supports environmental efforts on farms.
Today, farmers in the EQIP program can receive up to $450,000, and payment percentages for conservation practices are determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. If this bill passes, the maximum payment would be reduced to $150,000, and specific payment percentages (40%, 75%, or 100%) would be set for different types of conservation work.
