The Family Farm Transition Act of 2026 directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a program called Farm Land Link that connects retiring farmers with aspiring farmers seeking to take over agricultural operations. The program will maintain a database of both retiring farmers and new farmers, facilitate farm business and property transfers between these groups, and publish guidance to help with the transition process. The Secretary of Agriculture must establish the program within 180 days of the bill's enactment and will serve retiring farmers and beginning farmers as its primary beneficiaries. The program will operate for an initial five-year period, with the option to extend for additional five-year terms, and the Secretary must submit biennial progress reports to Congress detailing implementation steps and results achieved.
