The bill would create a program to establish five regional Agriculture Cybersecurity Centers at eligible land-grant colleges or universities. The centers would research cyber risks, develop and test security tools, offer training, and work together through a national network. Their work would focus on protecting agriculture, including farms, horticulture, animal agriculture, and the supply chain.
Agricultural businesses and other stakeholders could take part in training, research, and cybersecurity exercises through the centers. The bill does not guarantee that any specific business or person would receive services or funding.
The bill authorizes $25 million for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. This is authority for Congress to provide funding, not a statement that the funds have been appropriated.
