House Ag Panel Releases Farm Bill Language
USAgNet - 02/16/2026
House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) released the following statement after releasing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026:
"A new farm bill is long overdue, and the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is an important step forward in providing certainty to our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. We made historic agricultural investments last summer in the Working
Families Tax Cuts (H.R. 1), but there are many key policy components that remain to be addressed. With that in mind, the House Committee on Agriculture will begin marking up a new farm bill February 23.
"This bill provides modern policies for modern challenges and is shaped by years of listening to the needs of farmers, ranchers, and rural Americans. The farm bill affects our entire country, regardless of whether you live on a farm, and I look forward to seeing
my colleagues in Congress work together to get this critical legislation across the finish line."
