## Summary

**Creates a grant program to help agricultural producers and eligible schools pay to add approved rollover protection structures to tractors.** It would cover most purchase, transport, and installation costs and require a nonprofit program administrator to run applications and outreach. - Farmers and producers: Eligible agricultural producers could get grants covering 70% of the costs to buy, transport, and install approved rollover protection structures. If documented costs exceed $500, the grant share may be raised for that project. - Agricultural schools: Vocational programs, institutions of higher education with practical agricultural training, and secondary schools with agricultural curricula could receive grants to make training tractors safer. - Program operations and funding: USDA would competitively select a nongovernmental Program Administrator to identify approved ROPS and eligible tractors, run the application process, and maintain outreach. The bill would authorize $725k per year, about $500k of which would fund grants. *Would authorize up to $725k annually from 2027 through 2031, totaling about $3.6 million in authorized appropriations.*
