Summary
The Rural Investment for Producers and the Environment (RIPE) Act of 2026 establishes a demonstration program that provides direct payments to agricultural producers who implement conservation practices in selected eligible watersheds. The program would operate in up to 30 watersheds nationwide (no more than 2 per state or territory) and offer 3- to 5-year contracts with payments based on adoption costs, income foregone, long-term management, and environmental benefits including greenhouse gas reductions. The bill includes a 15 percent payment increase for limited-resource and socially disadvantaged farmers, reserves 10 percent of funds for such producers, and requires the Secretary of Agriculture to submit annual reports on program outcomes.
