America Grows Act of 2023

The America Grows Act of 2023 sets automatic annual funding increases for four specific USDA agencies: the Agricultural Research Service, Economic Research Service, National Agricultural Statistics Service, and National Institute of Food and Agriculture. It requires each agency to receive 105% of its prior year's funding, adjusted annually for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index. This funding is exempt from automatic budget cuts (sequestration) and remains available for the full fiscal year. The bill directly affects these agencies' budgets but does not create new programs or alter their core functions.
