Farm Bureau Applauds Progress to End Shutdown
American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall today applauded the Senate vote to end the government shutdown and urged the House to act quickly.
"Farm Bureau commends the Senate for voting to end the government shutdown, ensuring that farmers and ranchers can continue to rely on critical USDA services and disaster relief to keep their farms running and also ensure Americans maintain access to food assistance programs.
"We also appreciate the Senate's action to extend the U.S. Grain Standards Act and key farm bill programs, as well as authorizing USDA's 2026 budget. These actions, along with the improvements to farm programs in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will provide much-needed certainty for farmers as we work with Congress to pass a modernized five-year farm bill.
"Farm Bureau urges members of the House to act swiftly and pass this legislation so it can reach President Trump's desk without delay."
