RTCP Revitalization Act

This bill would make sure there is steady, guaranteed funding to reimburse geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. It directs the USDA to use Commodity Credit Corporation funds each year, instead of relying on year-to-year availability. It also stops USDA from capping how much an eligible farmer or rancher can receive in years when total funding is enough to cover all approved applications.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.
• What changes: Funding becomes mandatory from the Commodity Credit Corporation; no payment cap in years when funding can cover all approved applications.
• When: Sets annual funding of $10 million in 2026, then $11M (2027), $12M (2028), $13M (2029), $14M (2030), and $15M for 2031 and every year after.

In simple terms, this aims to provide reliable help to these farmers and ranchers by locking in yearly dollars and removing limits in fully funded years, so more of their eligible costs can be covered.
