We have received text from S. 3025: Fund Farm Programs Act of 2025. This bill was received on 2025-10-21, and currently has 1 cosponsor.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill, known as the Fund Farm Programs Act of 2025, aims to ensure that farmers receive uninterrupted services from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the event of a funding lapse. Here are the key components of the bill:
1. Purpose of the Bill
The primary goal of this legislation is to appropriate necessary funds to the Secretary of Agriculture so that essential services for farmers can continue. This is particularly focused on the programs and offices of the Farm Service Agency, which include crucial areas such as farm loans.
2. Funding During Lapses
The bill specifies that if there are any periods during fiscal year 2026 when interim or full-year appropriations for the Department of Agriculture have not been enacted, the Secretary of Agriculture will be able to access funds from the Treasury to ensure continued operation of services for farmers.
3. Coverage for Past Services
Furthermore, the bill would provide appropriations that retroactively cover costs for services that were not offered during the period from September 30, 2025, until the enactment of this bill due to a lack of funding. This means any interruptions in service during that time period would be addressed financially once this bill is passed.
4. Duration of Appropriations
The appropriations authorized under this act will remain available until a new law is enacted that provides funding for the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year 2026, including any ongoing appropriations.
5. Implications for Farmers
The legislation aims to mitigate the impacts that a government shutdown or funding delay could have on farmers by ensuring they have access to necessary services, such as loans and support from the Farm Service Agency, without interruption.
