WASHINGTON - Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21), senior member of the House Agriculture Committee, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry, and Co-Chair of the Congressional Specialty Crops Caucus, announced major victories for the Central Valley in the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. The legislation passed out of committee last night and now advances to the House floor for consideration.
The comprehensive Farm Bill strengthens America's food security, supports farmers and ranchers, protects nutrition programs, and invests in rural communities and agricultural research - all critical to the San Joaquin Valley, one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world.
