BINS Act of 2026
The BINS Act of 2026 expands the types of agricultural storage facilities eligible for federal loans under the Farm Storage Facility Loan Program. Specifically, it amends existing laws to include fertilizer storage infrastructure, such as dry bins, liquid tanks, and equipment for handling anhydrous ammonia. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Agriculture to update its regulations within 180 days to cover essential components like foundations, electrical systems, and plumbing needed for fertilizer storage. This change directly affects farmers and agribusinesses by broadening their access to financing for building and maintaining fertilizer storage facilities.
