DALCI Act
Introduced Feb 3, 2026 by Rep. Ashley Hinson
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill reestablishes an initiative within the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to assist farmers in fighting erosion and restoring cold water stream corridors in the Driftless Area of the Midwestern United States. (The Driftless Area is a region in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa that was never covered by glaciers.)
USDA must provide assistance to grassroots partnerships to educate landowners and operators on the benefits of climate-smart agriculture, soil health, and holistic grazing.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
