What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Specialty Crop & Wine Producer Tariff Relief Act," requires the Secretary of Agriculture to create a program for direct payments. These payments are intended for specialty crop growers and wine producers who face certain losses. The losses are linked to increased tariff burdens introduced by other countries after January 20, 2025. Additionally, the Secretary is authorized to purchase surplus crops, excluding wine grapes, for use in nutrition assistance programs. The Secretary must also provide annual reports to Congress regarding these payments and crop purchases through 2030.
