Report from Washington

House Ag Committee Advances Stimulus Package

On Wednesday, the House Agriculture Committee held a meeting to consider the agricultural provisions of the budget reconciliation measure, S. Con. Res. 5. The bill includes $16.1 billion for USDA, with $12 billion specifically for nutrition programs.

The bill includes $1.01 billion for “Assistance and Support for Socially Disadvantaged, Ranchers, Forest Landowners and Operators, and Groups.” In addition to providing financial and cooperative development training, grants and loans to improve land access, and developing agricultural credit institution and legal centers, funding within the section is directed to support research, education, and extension at 1890 and 1994 land-grant institutions, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Hispanic-serving institutions, and insular area institutions of higher education.

Following a lengthy markup, the bill was adopted on a party-line vote. The measure is part of the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package backed by President Joe Biden.
