CALL Act
HR 707, the CALL Act, directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study barriers to conservation program participation and environmental conservation efforts on leased farmland. The study will examine lease structures, landowner-tenant dynamics, regional differences, and existing federal/state incentives, with special focus on Black, Indigenous, and beginning farmers. It requires a report by December 2024 with recommendations to improve conservation adoption on leased land. The bill itself does not change policy but aims to inform future efforts.
