Plain-English Summary
The federal government would give money directly to states to help them recover from revenue losses caused by freezes or cold weather that damaged crops or agricultural operations. States would receive these funds as block grants, meaning they'd have flexibility in how to distribute the money to affected farmers and agricultural businesses in their regions. This would help agricultural communities recover from weather-related economic damage without having to wait for individual disaster relief programs.
