Summary of Bill S 629

Bill 119 s 629, also known as the Emergency Conservation Program Enhancement Act, aims to make it easier for agricultural producers to access funds for emergency measures under the emergency conservation program. The bill seeks to amend the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 in order to remove barriers that currently hinder farmers from receiving the necessary financial assistance during times of crisis.

The emergency conservation program provides financial assistance to farmers who need to implement emergency measures to address natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, and wildfires. However, the current regulations and requirements make it difficult for many agricultural producers to access these funds in a timely manner.

The proposed bill aims to streamline the application process and remove unnecessary obstacles that prevent farmers from receiving the assistance they need. By removing these barriers, the bill hopes to ensure that agricultural producers can quickly access the funds necessary to carry out emergency measures and protect their crops and livestock. In addition to improving access to funds, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to agricultural credit and emergency conservation programs. Overall, Bill 119 s 629 seeks to support and assist agricultural producers in times of crisis by making it easier for them to access the financial assistance they need to protect their livelihoods.
