Summary
To amend the Food Security Act of 1985 to increase payments for drought-resilient or water-saving practices and to provide additional payments for perennial production systems, and for other purposes.

This bill would change how the federal government pays farmers who adopt water-saving or drought-resistant farming methods. It increases payments under the Food Security Act of 1985, a major farm support law. The bill also creates extra payments for farmers who use perennial crops, meaning plants that live multiple years. Perennial systems can reduce water use and soil erosion. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early stages.
