RTCP Revitalization Act

The RTCP Revitalization Act (S 1758) secures guaranteed annual funding for payments to geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers under the Commodity Credit Corporation program. It amends the 2008 Farm Bill to mandate specific funding levels: $10 million for fiscal year 2026, increasing to $15 million annually starting in 2031. The bill removes a previous funding availability condition and adds a provision ensuring no payment limits apply when sufficient funds are available. This directly affects eligible farmers in geographically disadvantaged areas by providing predictable financial support through fixed annual appropriations.
