Farmers and winemakers hurt by new tariffs would get direct payments from a new government program.
This bill would create a new program to give direct payments to specialty crop growers and wine producers who lose money because other countries put new tariffs on U.S. products. It would also let the government buy their extra crops to use in food assistance programs.
Currently, specialty crop growers and wine producers do not receive direct payments from the government for losses caused by new tariffs from other countries. This bill would create a new program to provide these payments and would also allow the government to buy surplus crops (excluding wine grapes) for food assistance programs. The program would be established within 180 days of the bill becoming law, and funding would be authorized for the government's budget years 2026 through 2030.
