An Act amending Title 3 (Agriculture) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Agriculture-Linked Investment Program, further providing for legislative intent, for definitions, for general authority of commission and for Agriculture-Linked Investment Program.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Agriculture-Linked Investment Program to provide farmers with access to affordable, low-interest capital. The program is designed to encourage the adoption of conservation measures that improve soil health, protect water quality, and reduce farm odors. To qualify for these loans, eligible borrowers must develop and implement approved plans for managing nutrients, manure, or soil erosion. The legislation also includes updated definitions for key terms like "beginning farmer" and "best management practices" to clarify who can participate and what actions are required.
