This bill directs the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Agriculture to run joint research and development at the intersection of energy and agriculture. They must coordinate the work through a memorandum of understanding or other interagency agreement that uses a competitive, merit-reviewed process open to federal agencies, national laboratories, universities, and nonprofits. The bill lists focus areas the Secretaries may pursue, including modeling and artificial intelligence, crop science and pest control, the energy-water nexus, biomass and biofuels, colocating agriculture with energy and carbon storage, invasive species management, grid modernization and security, rural and precision agriculture technology, and wildfire risk. The work may also improve the efficiency of agriculture operations and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from them. The Secretaries may enter reimbursable agreements and collaborate with other agencies. Within two years, they must report to named House and Senate committees on coordination and achievements. The research must comply with existing federal research security law.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 2 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 9 quarterly reports filed by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: American Society of Civil Engineers; Biotechnology Innovation Organization. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
