President Biden’s 2024 budget calls for just over $30 billion in discretionary budget authority for USDA. That’s nearly a $4 billion increase from what was enacted last year. The increase includes additional funding for child nutrition and climate programs. In a statement, Vilsack said the budget delivers “effective, innovative science-based public policy leadership at home and around the world.” Crop insurance was left unchanged with the exception of a cover crop incentive program that would pay farmers $5 per acre to use cover crops.
