Secretary of Agriculture would provide grants to state agriculture departments, Tribal governments, farmer cooperatives, conservation districts, and institutions of higher education to develop or implement climate adaptation and mitigation proposals on agricultural land

Funding set at $150 million annually for fiscal years 2026-2034, with 33% reserved for Tribal Government authorities and at least 33% each allocated for proposal development and implementation

Maximum grant amounts are $7.5 million per year for developing proposals and $15 million per year for implementation, with federal cost-share capped at 75% for development and 50% for implementation (higher percentages for Tribal governments)

Eligible proposals must achieve at least two of three outcomes: increased carbon sequestration, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, or increased resilience against extreme weather
