Public grape data for growers
The bill would require the Department of Agriculture to survey grape production in every state within 1 year of enactment. It would include total grape acres. It would also report, by type and variety, production, use, acres, county, and year planted. The results and the underlying data would be posted on the agency’s statistics website. Starting 2 years after enactment, and then once a year for the next 3 years, the agency would publish data for the 5 states with the most grape production, based on the prior year’s survey. The bill would authorize $2.5 million for FY2026 to run the survey, and $1.5 million each year for FY2027–FY2030 to publish the data. These amounts are only authorizations; Congress would still need to appropriate the money.
