The MATCH Act of 2025 amends the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 to include provisions for preagreement costs of emergency watershed protection measures. Specifically, it requires the Secretary to identify a list of such measures and develop a procedure for sponsors to request additional measures. If a sponsor incurs costs for these measures before entering into an agreement, the Secretary must consider these costs as part of the sponsor's contribution. The bill also clarifies that a sponsor who undertakes these measures assumes the risk of incurring costs.
