Section 1 names the proposal the Future Agriculture Retention and Management Act of 2025, or FARM Act of 2025.
This Act may be cited as the Future Agriculture Retention and Management Act of 2025 or the FARM Act of 2025.
Section 2(a) would add a restriction to Internal Revenue Code section 48 denying its subsection (a) credit for the referenced solar equipment when a public utility puts it into service on agricultural land. It would also update section 48(a)(1) to reference that restriction.
Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: (f) Denial of credit with respect to certain solar energy property on agricultural land (1) In general Subsection (a) shall not apply to equipment described in subsection (a)(3)(A)(i) that is placed in service by a public utility on agricultural land.
Section 48(a)(1) of such Code is amended by inserting subsection (f) and after provided in.
Section 2(b) would replace Internal Revenue Code section 45(e)(6). Although labeled “Wind property,” it would deny the section 45(a) electricity production credit for both solar and wind facilities put into service after enactment by a public utility on agricultural land.
(b) Wind property Section 45(e)(6) of such Code is amended to read as follows: (6) Denial of credit with respect to certain energy property on agricultural land (A) In general The credit determined under subsection (a) shall not apply to electricity produced by a solar energy facility or wind facility placed in service after the date of enactment of the Future Agriculture Retention and Management Act of 2025 by a public utility on agricultural land.
Both restrictions would use existing statutory definitions: “agricultural land” would mean “eligible land” under section 1240A of the Food Security Act of 1985, and “public utility” would have the meaning in Internal Revenue Code section 136(c)(2). Those definitions are referenced but not reproduced.
(A) Agricultural land The term agricultural land has the meaning given the term eligible land in section 1240A of the Food Security Act of 1985. (B) Public utility The term public utility has the meaning given the term in section 136(c)(2).
(i) Agricultural land The term agricultural land has the meaning given the term eligible land in section 1240A of the Food Security Act of 1985. (ii) Public utility The term public utility has the meaning given the term in section 136(c)(2).
The amendments would apply to property put into service after enactment. The bill gives no fixed calendar date for implementation.
(c) Effective date The amendments made by this section shall apply to property placed in service after the date of enactment of this Act.
