The House is expected to consider a new five-year farm bill, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R. 7567), during the week of April 27.
Why this matters: Farmers and ranchers have been operating without the certainty of a long-term farm bill since 2023. At the same time, they are facing low commodity prices, rising input costs, and inflation. Without action, farm families risk losing access to critical programs that support their operations and rural communities.
What’s in the bill: This legislation strengthens the farm safety net and makes important investments in conservation, trade, nutrition, research and rural development. It also improves access to credit and expands crop insurance options for producers, including those who grow specialty crops.
