American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the House of Representatives vote to pass the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.
"Farmers and ranchers applaud the House of Representatives for passing a new, modernized farm bill. We appreciate Chairman G.T. Thompson's leadership to get this done. After three years of extensions and eight years since a farm bill was passed, we're grateful the House found a bipartisan path forward. Important updates to research and conservation, as well as increased loan limits and clarity on interstate commerce, will help farmers survive today's challenges and give them the tools to thrive in the future.
"We urge the Senate to follow the House's lead and move this important bipartisan legislation forward. Food security is national security, and investing in America's farmers and ranchers is an investment in America's families. We all benefit from a reliable and affordable food supply."
