CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE
America Grows Act of 2026
This bill permanently funds several agencies that perform agriculture research.
The bill provides specified funding for the following agencies within the Department of Agriculture:
• the Agricultural Research Service,
• the Economic Research Service,
• the National Agricultural Statistics Service, and
• the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
The bill exempts the funding from sequestration, which is a process of automatic, usually across-the-board spending reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently cancelled to enforce specific budget policy goals.
It also exempts the budgetary effects of the funding from the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (PAYGO) and the Senate PAYGO rule.
