Farming Opportunities Training and Outreach Grant Program Reauthorization Act of 2023

This bill reauthorizes the Farming Opportunities Training and Outreach Grant Program through 2028, directly supporting socially disadvantaged, veteran, and beginning farmers and ranchers. It requires grant recipients to provide interpretation and translation services when needed to improve access to USDA programs, and extends the program's funding period from 2019-2023 to 2024-2028. Additionally, the bill mandates the USDA to compile and report annually on farm program participation data by race, ethnicity, and gender, starting in 2025, to increase transparency for these groups.
