American Prairie Conservation Act

Bill 119 s 1209, also known as the Native Sod Protection Act, aims to amend the Federal Crop Insurance Act and the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996. The main goal of this bill is to extend the native sod provisions to apply to the entire United States, not just specific regions.

The native sod provisions currently in place protect native grasslands from being plowed under for agricultural purposes. This bill seeks to modify and strengthen these provisions to ensure that more native grasslands are preserved.

In addition to expanding the scope of the native sod provisions, Bill 119 s 1209 also includes other provisions related to crop insurance and agricultural reform. These additional measures are aimed at improving the sustainability and environmental impact of agriculture in the United States. Overall, this bill represents a bipartisan effort to protect and preserve native grasslands while also promoting sustainable agricultural practices. It is currently being debated in Congress and has the potential to have a significant impact on the way agriculture is conducted in the United States.
