Colonel Gary LaGrange AgVets Act of 2024

This bill creates a new grant program to support veterans pursuing careers in agriculture. It authorizes $5 million annually (2025-2029) for competitive grants to eligible entities like land-grant universities, state agriculture departments, nonprofits, and community organizations. These grants fund training, classroom education, curriculum development, workshops, and field experiences focused on farm and ranch business management for veterans. Recipients must provide a 1:1 match of non-federal funds, and the program specifically targets helping veterans gain skills to start or expand farming operations.
