Local Beef Marketing Incentive Act of 2026

Summary

The bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to set up a program that pays eligible cattle producers when direct‑to‑consumer beef sales drop significantly. Producers who use a local slaughter facility and sell at least half of their beef directly to consumers can receive payments based on the loss in cattle prices, with caps per animal and per producer. The goal is to support local beef marketing and offset revenue shortfalls.
