Farm Bureau Calls on House Agriculture Committee to Pass Farm Bill

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall today commented on the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.

“Farmers appreciate the work Chairman G.T. Thompson and the House Agriculture Committee have done in drafting a new, modernized farm bill. It will provide much-needed certainty for farmers who are facing record high expenses and historically low crop prices.

“The bill updates important food and farm programs, enhances conservation efforts, bolsters assistance to specialty crops, and makes critical investments in agricultural research. We urge House Agriculture Committee members to work together to find common ground during markup and pass a bipartisan farm bill. After three years of delays, farmers desperately need policy that will help give them the tools and certainty to continue growing food and fiber for every family in America.”
