Farm down payment assistance program modification

Summary

The bill revises the farm down‑payment assistance program by defining who qualifies as an eligible farmer and setting grant amounts of up to $20,000 or $40,000 depending on acreage. Recipients must match at least $8,000, keep the land for five years, and may face a penalty for early exit. Funding of $1.25 million per year is earmarked for these grants, with priority for low‑income and specialty‑crop producers.
