S 2614 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Farmer to Farmer Education Act of 2023

This bill establishes a new program to support peer-to-peer technical assistance for farmers, ranchers, and forest owners through "farmer-to-farmer networks." It creates cooperative agreements with eligible groups (like nonprofits, tribes, local governments, and agricultural organizations) to build these networks, prioritizing historically underserved producers including beginning, veteran, socially disadvantaged, and limited-resource farmers. Key provisions require funded networks to facilitate mentorship, provide language access for non-English speakers, and organize local events to share conservation practices. The program aims to increase access to practical, science-based farming support through community-led learning rather than direct government service.
