Bill overview
The Protecting Farmers from Natural Disasters Act of 2025 aims to strengthen the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) Program, which provides financial and technical assistance to farmers impacted by natural disasters. This bill expands the USDA’s authority to authorize restoration projects that go beyond simply returning a watershed to its pre-disaster state, prioritizing long-term watershed health and protection. It allows for restoration activities that may exceed previous conditions, ensuring a more sustainable approach to mitigating the effects of floods, droughts, and other natural events. The goal is to better support farmers and protect vital watersheds across the United States.
