Texas farmers and ranchers along the southern border would get help to repair damaged land.
Farmers and ranchers in certain Texas counties along the southern border would get financial help to fix damage to their land and farm buildings. This bill would let the government pay for conservation efforts to repair problems caused by natural resource concerns. Currently, this specific type of help isn't available through the existing program.
Currently, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) helps farmers with conservation. However, it does not specifically pay to fix damage to agricultural land and farm buildings in South Texas border counties caused by natural resource issues. If this bill passes, the program would be changed to allow these specific payments for farmers and ranchers in 35 listed counties and potentially others nearby. These contracts for assistance would last one year.
