Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends the Agricultural Act of 2014 to expand the tree assistance program for orchardists and nursery tree growers. Key changes include broadening eligibility to include biennial crops and pest damage (not just insect damage), removing production history requirements, allowing assistance when trees no longer produce economically viable crops, and giving the Secretary discretion to modify acreage limitations. The bill also establishes a 120-day application review timeline, allows replanting with alternative tree varieties, stand densities, or locations (with cost-share caps), and sets a 2-year implementation deadline with flexibility for tree survival.
