S 156 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Increased TSP Access Act of 2025

This bill amends USDA conservation programs to expand access to technical assistance for farmers. It creates new certification pathways for third-party providers (like crop advisors, engineers, or agricultural cooperatives) through state agencies or professional organizations, rather than requiring all certification through USDA. The bill establishes standardized payment rates for these services and mandates annual public reports on certification numbers, provider types, and program effectiveness. These changes aim to increase the number of qualified providers available to help farmers implement conservation practices.
