The introduced bill text would direct USDA to provide grants for climate mitigation and adaptation proposals on agricultural land, including proposals increasing carbon sequestration, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving resilience to extreme weather. It gives priority to beginning farmers, veteran farmers, and small or mid-sized family farms.
Assessments
The promise has not been fulfilled because H.R.6341, the Partnerships for Agricultural Climate Action Act, remains at the introduced/referral stage and has not passed or become law. The bill closely matches the promised grant program and Strickland was an original cosponsor in the 119th Congress, which is a concrete later-term legislative effort, but it has not yet delivered the program.
