This bill would end the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s energy programs by repealing the “Energy” title of the 2002 farm law. That means federal support that helped fund renewable energy and bio-based projects in rural America would stop if this becomes law.

The programs affected include things like the BioPreferred Program (which promotes products made from plants and other renewables), the Rural Energy for America Program (which helps farms and small rural businesses pay for things like solar panels and energy-saving upgrades), and loans for biorefineries and biobased manufacturing.

Who is affected: Farmers, rural small businesses, and companies that make bio-based products or run biorefineries.
What changes: USDA energy subsidies and incentives under the 2002 farm law’s Energy title would be repealed, ending those supports.
When: The repeal would take effect if and when the bill becomes law.
