The bill requires adjustments for the following agencies within the Department of Agriculture:

  • the Agricultural Research Service,
  • the Economic Research Service,
  • the National Agricultural Statistics Service, and
  • the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

The bill also requires annual appropriations for each of these agencies to be at least the amount appropriated for FY2019.
