Farm Future Commission Reauthorized: Studying Land Access and Support for New Farmers.

This law reauthorizes and expands a federal commission tasked with studying how to ensure the next generation of farmers can access and transition into farming by 2050. The commission will focus on barriers like land costs, inheritance issues, and challenges faced by women and historically underserved farmers. This work is intended to lead to future policy changes and new support programs for the agricultural sector.
Key points
Extends the mandate of the commission studying how to provide affordable and timely access to agricultural land for future farmers.
Expands the study scope to include land inheritance (heirs' property), barriers for women and minority farmers, and foreign ownership trends.
The commission is now required to provide specific recommendations on apprenticeships, training programs, and changes to state and federal policies, including tax laws.
