        <text><![CDATA[ <p><b>Wetland Delineation Act of 2018 </b></p> <p>This bill modifies wetland conservation requirements that deny various Department of Agriculture (USDA) program benefits to agricultural producers who plant crops on certain converted wetlands. </p> <p>The bill requires USDA to (1) determine that an exemption permitted under current law does not apply to a producer before determining that a producer is ineligible for benefits, and (2) publish categorical minimal effect exemptions within 180 days of the enactment of this bill. </p> <p>The bill also authorizes additional funding for the wetland mitigation banking program. </p>]]></text>
