A bill to amend the Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 to establish an Office of Small Farms, and for other purposes.

S. 3860 would amend the Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 to create a new Office of Small Farms. This office would be designed to provide dedicated support and resources for small farm operations across the United States. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate in February 2026 and referred to committee for consideration.

If enacted, this legislation would establish a focused government office to address the specific needs and challenges of small farmers. The office could potentially help small farms access programs, technical assistance, and other resources from the Department of Agriculture. This would represent a structural change to how the USDA organizes its support for different types of farming operations, with the goal of better serving smaller agricultural producers who may face different obstacles than large-scale operations.
