US EditionNew Farm Bill Advances to Full House Vote
The $1.3 trillion bill renews key farm safety net programs and invests $60 billion in trade market expansion amid economic challenges, lawmakers and farm groups said.
- In Washington, D.C., the committee sent the bill to the House floor after advancing the five-year, about 800-page Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.
- Because the farm law hasn't been updated since 2018, lawmakers say safety-net fixes are needed as farmers face economic headwinds, aiming to fill holes left by President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
- The bill renews and expands core farm programs including crop insurance, disaster aid, and federal research, invests in rural broadband, water, forestry, hospital aid, and broadens REAP grants.
- Stakeholders reacted with mixed reviews, as the committee passed the bill amid disputes and leaders warned of floor challenges, said Bost.
- After more than 22 hours of markup, the committee approved the bill with fewer than 10 amendments adopted, and it heads to the House floor for a vote next week.
