To require the Secretary of Agriculture to make cost-share grants for retrofitting agricultural tractors with rollover protection structures, and for other purposes.

Grants for farmers, schools to retrofit tractors

This bill would create a USDA cost-share grant program to add rollover protection to agricultural tractors. If enacted, eligible farmers and certain schools would be able to get grants to buy, move, and install approved rollover protection structures (ROPS) on eligible tractors. Each grant would generally cover 70% of documented purchase, transport, and installation costs, and the Secretary would raise the percentage when documented costs exceed $500. The Secretary would pick a nongovernmental Program Administrator to run applications, a public website, and a phone hotline. The bill would authorize $725,000 per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with $500,000 per year for grants and transfers of $125,000 and $100,000 per year to fund the website and hotline.
