## Summary

**Expanded mental-health support for farmers.** This bill would reauthorize and modify the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network to add crisis lines and strengthen connections to clinical providers while increasing program funding. - Farmers and ranchers: Grants would fund crisis-line access and referrals so people can reach behavioral health and substance use treatment through established clinical networks including certified community behavioral health clinics, health centers, rural health clinics, Federally qualified health centers, and critical access hospitals. - Rural clinics and community grantees: Grant recipients could establish formal referral relationships with the five listed provider types to help route patients into a broader scope of mental health and substance use services. - Program funding: Authorizes $15.0 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, up from $10.0 million per year in the prior authorization. *This bill would increase authorized federal spending for the program by $5.0 million per year during 2026–2030 compared with the prior authorization.*
