  • Socially disadvantaged, veteran, and beginning farmers: Would extend the outreach and assistance window to 2027–2031 and require interpretation and translation when useful to help more farmers use USDA programs.
  • Data and transparency: Would require the Secretary to publish county- and State-level data every 5 years starting March 31, 2028 on acres, payment yields, noninsured crop disaster assistance fee waivers, guaranteed loans, grazing permits, and participant race, ethnicity, and gender.
  • Community organizations and service providers: Would broaden eligibility and preserve priority for nongovernmental entities while explicitly elevating organizations that provide translation and interpretation as part of outreach.
