Establishes a subsidy program for beef producers experiencing revenue losses from direct-to-market sales.
The Local Beef Marketing Incentive Act of 2026 directs the Secretary of Agriculture to create a subsidy program for eligible producers who suffer revenue losses from direct-to-market sales of beef. Eligible producers must use a local processor and sell at least 50% of their beef production directly to consumers or through similar channels. Payments are calculated based on the difference between the average beef cattle price for the preceding five years and the price for the subsidy year, multiplied by the average live weight of the cattle.
