A bill for an act relating to agriculture, including by providing for the powers and duties of the department of agriculture and land stewardship, including the promotion and regulation of commodities and products, the regulation of the transportation of agricultural commodities, and the use of agricultural land, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

SF 2420 establishes the "Choose Iowa" program to promote Iowa agricultural products, directly affecting farmers, food businesses, schools, and food banks. It creates two new purchasing initiatives: a school program reimbursing 100% of costs for eligible Iowa-grown food (like meat, dairy, and produce) when purchased from enrolled farms, and a food bank program offering similar reimbursement with a $50,000 annual cap per organization. The bill also allocates $1.75 million annually for renewable fuel infrastructure and sets membership criteria for farms/businesses to join the program. These changes provide concrete market access for Iowa producers through direct financial support for local purchases.
