This bill directs the USDA to create and support networks where farmers, ranchers, and forest owners learn conservation practices from one another. The Agriculture Secretary could sign agreements with nonprofits, tribal governments, universities, local governments, and farmer groups to run these networks, organize training events, and pair experienced farmers with mentors. People who take part in learning activities must be paid at market rates.
The program serves farmers, ranchers, and forest owners, with priority given to historically underserved farmers, low-income farmers, and those in high-poverty areas. Assistance must be provided in a farmer's native language whenever possible.
If passed, the USDA would have four years to report to Congress on how the program is working and how widely conservation practices have been adopted as a result.
