Referred to the Subcommittee on Conservation, Research, and Biotechnology.
This bill amends the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 to authorize $40,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 for grants and fellowships in food and agricultural sciences education. It adds that five-year funding authorization to the statute, extending support for education, mentorship, and research training programs in agriculture.
Adequacy of $40M per year versus higher funding needs
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused statutory amendment that clearly authorizes funding levels for an existing program and cleanly identifies the statutory subsection it changes.

Adequacy of $40M per year versus higher funding needs
These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Adequacy of $40M per year versus higher funding needs
Likely broadly supportive because it restores predictable federal funding for agricultural education, fellowships, and research training.
Would see this as useful for workforce development, potential equity outreach, and strengthening public agricultural research capacity.
Might press for higher funding levels or clearer equity and climate-resilience priorities.
Generally favorable as a modest, targeted reauthorization that supports workforce and research needs in agriculture.
Views it as a reasonable, low-cost federal investment if accompanied by clear performance metrics and oversight.
May seek modest fiscal transparency or sunset review.
Cautiously open to supporting workforce development in agriculture but wary of expanding federal expenditures and program growth.
May accept modest, targeted funding if it demonstrates clear benefits, efficient administration, and minimal federal overreach into state or private sector roles.
