Agricultural Management Assistance Act of 2026

Summary

Expands an existing USDA risk management education grant program to reach more people and activities, adds approved crop insurance providers as eligible recipients of education and technical assistance (including language translation), broadens allowable activities to include diversification and climate resilience practices, revises payment-limit timing and calculations, and changes funding language to specify a $30,000,000 cap and an authorized indefinite annual appropriation of $20,000,000 beginning in FY2026 (available until expended). The bill renames and inserts subparagraphs to reflect the expanded audiences and activities and explicitly excludes other Federal funds when computing payment limits.
