To amend the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to reauthorize the dairy business innovation initiatives.
This bill increases funding for dairy business innovation programs under the 2018 Farm Bill. It amends Section 12513(i) by raising the annual grant allocation from $20 million to $36 million. The change directly affects dairy farmers and businesses seeking grants to support innovation projects like processing, marketing, or sustainability efforts. The key mechanism is a higher annual funding cap, allowing more grants to be awarded without changing program eligibility or structure.
