The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate

dedicated support for beginning farmers and ranchers, small
and mid-sized producers, or local and regional food systems
during any fiscal year in which net farm income is projected
to decrease, as determined by the Economic Research Service,
by the amounts provided in such legislation for those
purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase
the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal years 2025
through 2034.
