Senate GOP says adding conservation funds to farm bill strengthens baseline

An analysis from Senate Agriculture Committee’s GOP staff says including the Inflation Reduction Act’s conservation funding in the next farm bill could provide a boost to its baseline over time.

There’s $13 billion available in conservation funding and Senate Ag Committee Ranking Member John Boozman tells Brownfield “I think we could capture most of it.”

Boozman says lawmakers are willing to put guardrails around the money to keep it in the conservation title of the farm bill.
