Bill overview
This bill increases the maximum amount farmers can receive in grants for farmland stewardship activities.

The goal is to help farmers invest in projects that improve and maintain preserved farmland, such as soil conservation and fencing. This change aims to address rising costs associated with these important agricultural practices.
