Colonel Gary LaGrange AgVets Act of 2026

The Colonel Gary LaGrange AgVets Act of 2026 creates a new grant program to help military veterans develop skills in farming and ranching. Eligible recipients include agricultural colleges, state departments, and nonprofit organizations, which must use the funds to provide education, workshops, and business management training for veterans. To receive these grants, organizations must match the federal funding with an equal amount of non-federal money. The bill authorizes $5 million annually in fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to support these initiatives.
