Summary
The bill changes the 2014 Agricultural Act’s Tree Assistance Program, allowing growers to receive help after pest or biennial losses and to replant with different tree varieties, densities, or locations. It also requires the USDA Secretary to notify applicants within 120 days and sets timing rules for using the assistance. The changes aim to keep orchard and nursery businesses viable when trees die or become unproductive.
