## Provisions PRIA read

- Farm contracts could cut emissions, store carbon: benefit, low. This bill would broaden USDA conservation incentive contracts. Farms could use contracts to cut nitrous oxide or methane emissions. They could also get support to increase carbon stored in plants or soil. The bill names these as greenhouse gas emissions and carbon storage. It would not add new fund…
