House Ag GOP

Today is Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day—an opportunity to reflect on the unique challenges producers face as they work to feed, fuel, and clothe America. Today and every day, we thank our farmers and ranchers for the vital work they do in their fields, pastures, and barns.

The House Committee on Agriculture remains committed to supporting our hardworking producers through meaningful ag policy—from historic investments in the farm safety net last summer to expanding credit access in the 2026 farm bill.

Good ag policy is all about bringing stakeholders to the table. Thank you to Wine Institute members for sharing their priorities today with Chairman Thompson and the Ag Committee!

Texan farmers and ranchers deserve a new farm bill.

Today, stopped by the Senate to speak to about the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. It’s time to make agriculture great again—and that requires an updated farm bill that reflects modern challenges.

The Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act out of committee today. Read the official statement from Chairman Thompson and Chairman Hill here.

HISTORIC FARM BILL VOTE

Last week, 224 House Republicans voted for the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. This is the highest level of GOP support for a House farm bill in history, affirming the commitment of House Republicans to rural America.

➡️Now on to the Senate!

Congress is currently debating the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, but the farm bill was not WRITTEN in Congress.

The 2026 farm bill was written out in the fields, pastures, and town halls of America. The House Committee on Agriculture traveled coast to coast to hear from producers and rural communities, and every provision in the bill is directly based on what the committee learned during these listening sessions.

🚨Farm bill debate has begun on the House floor. It’s time to get updated policies for our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

500. That’s how many organizations — across the entire agricultural supply chain — support the new farm bill.

The House Committee on Agriculture is ready to see which representatives join us in supporting farmers, ranchers, and rural Americans. We’re ready for a vote on the farm bill.

Visit the committee’s website for a full list of supporters.

The House Committee on Agriculture is committed to bringing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 to the floor for a vote. Our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities deserve updated policy — not another extension.
