What this bill would do

This bill creates a tax credit to encourage people and businesses to buy American agricultural commodities. The credit is worth up to 25 percent of a taxpayer's total agricultural input costs, with a maximum cap of $100,000,000 per year. To qualify for the credit, taxpayers must meet a rising threshold of domestic agricultural purchases over time, starting at 50 percent in 2026 and increasing to 85 percent for years after 2033. Eligible cooperative organizations are also allowed to pass portions of this credit along to their patrons. Finally, the Secretary of Agriculture is required to maintain a list of commodities that cannot feasibly be grown inside the United States.
