America Grows Act of 2019
This bill require certain adjustments to the discretionary spending limits for FY2020-FY2024 to accommodate increases in appropriations for agencies that conduct agricultural research.
The bill requires adjustments 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 also requires annual appropriations for each of these agencies to be at least the amount appropriated for FY2019.
