## Summary

**Promotes energy-efficient agricultural pumping systems by directing USDA to educate producers and provide practical tools that show energy, water, cost, and emissions benefits.** The bill would also add pumping-system upgrades to a conservation program so those practices are explicitly recognized. - Farmers and producers would get public information on pumps, pipes, motors, drives, and controls plus a user-friendly Pre-Assessment Tool to estimate savings and emissions reductions; findings cite up to 22 billion kilowatt hours and about $1.8 billion in annual energy cost savings. - Conservation program participants would see energy-efficient pumping systems added as an eligible practice in the Conservation Stewardship Program, broadening recognized conservation activities. - USDA staff and energy auditors would be required to receive education on pumping-system efficiency and to publish the pre-assessment tool and related outreach within 180 days, with specific data-input requirements for usability. - Water and environmental outcomes could improve through reduced water losses and lower emissions, with findings noting up to 8.3 million metric tons of carbon reductions and about 2,500 kilowatt hours saved per 10 miles of plastic piping.
