USAgNet - 03/06/2026
House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson issued the following statement today upon the passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 out of committee:
"Today, my colleagues at the House Committee on Agriculture stepped up for farm country and passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 out of committee. I am proud of this bill, as well as the work that's been done to improve it during the
last two days.
"After a markup that lasted over 20 hours, the legislation reflects the will of the committee, and it is filled with bipartisan provisions that will move the needle for farmers, ranchers, and rural Americans across the country.
"Throughout this markup, it became clearer than ever before that our country needs a new farm bill, and we don't need it next year, or next Congress. We need it now. I look forward to working in good faith with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as we
move toward a final vote on the House floor."
