Bill overview
This bill, the PASTURE Act, modifies the Food Security Act to provide the Department of Agriculture with the authority to temporarily allow emergency haying and grazing on land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program during a declared pandemic. Specifically, it expands the definition of ‘emergency’ to include pandemics, allowing for these activities even if they would otherwise violate existing contracts. This aims to address potential agricultural challenges arising from pandemics by ensuring access to forage resources. The bill seeks to strengthen the USDA’s ability to respond to crises impacting agricultural land.
