USDA requests Public Input on Implementation of Inflation Reduction Act Funding

The USDA is asking for public input through a Federal Register request for information on the implementation of more than $19 billion provided by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will use the investments provided through IRA-funded conservation programs to support farmers and ranchers in adopting and expanding climate-smart activities and systems. NRCS asks for comments on how to target program benefits, quantify the impact, and improve program delivery and outreach, especially for underserved producers. Comments are due December 21.
