H.R. 5365 amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to streamline conservation programs by modifying rules for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which pays farmers to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production. The bill specifically expands eligibility for the State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAWE) initiative by allowing continuous enrollment of land designated for this wildlife protection program, and adjusts acreage limitation references to reflect these changes. The legislation primarily affects farmers and landowners who participate in federal conservation programs, as well as state wildlife agencies that oversee the SAWE initiative. The bill was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture, but the provided text does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines.
