Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018

Summary

This bill amends the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 to reauthorize through FY2023 the Department of Agriculture (USDA) extension programs, which are informal education programs conducted in the states in cooperation with USDA. The bill also allows 1890 land-grant colleges and universities (historically black colleges and universities that were established under the Second Morrill Act of 1890 and receive funding from USDA) to carry over all extension funding into the succeeding fiscal year. (Under current law, the institutions are prohibited from carrying over more than 20% of the funds received in any fiscal year.) USDA must report to Congress regarding extension and agricultural research funding for 1890 land-grant colleges and universities, including allocations made and matching funds received.
