Wisconsin Farm Bureau Statement on Passage of the Farm Bill

Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation President Brad Olson issued the following statement in response to the U.S. House passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026:

"Today, the House of Representatives took an important step forward in passing a long overdue Farm Bill. Wisconsin farmers appreciate the bipartisan effort to move this legislation after years of uncertainty. This progress comes at a critical moment for agriculture.

For Wisconsin, the stakes are especially high as our state is the center of the nation's dairy industry. The risk of the 'dairy cliff' remains very real for our farmers and we urge the U.S. Senate to act fast.

We would especially like to recognize U.S. Representatives Derrick Van Orden and Tony Wied for their leadership and work on the House Agriculture Committee to craft, support and ultimately progress this bill that ensures a stable food supply and supports rural communities."
