Letter
Dear Speaker Johnson and Leader Jeffries:
America’s agricultural sector remains grateful for your demonstrated commitment to supporting farmers, ranchers and rural communities. We are encouraged by the House Agriculture Committee’s recent bipartisan advancement of Farm Bill 2.0. This important step demonstrates meaningful momentum and reinforces the shared commitment to delivering a comprehensive, long-term policy framework for U.S. agriculture. We urge the House to take the next steps on this critical legislation.
While we recognize that previous legislation included key provisions to bolster the farm safety net and support competitiveness, we remain committed to a full, comprehensive Farm Bill. The complete suite of programs across all Farm Bill titles remains essential to ensuring the resilience, productivity and global competitiveness of American agriculture, as well as the strength of rural communities nationwide. The House Agriculture Committee’s Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 achieves these goals.
Since our most recent collective communication on this topic in September 2025, economic pressures facing producers have only intensified. Already high input costs, including fuel and fertilizer, have risen sharply driven by ongoing global conflicts, supply chain disruptions and uncertainty in both domestic and foreign demand. These challenges further underscore the urgent need for congressional action to provide certainty and support for agricultural producers navigating an increasingly volatile operating environment. Simply put, the industry cannot continue to manage the challenges of 2026 with the solutions from 2018.
The bipartisan passage through Committee is a significant milestone, and we urge House and Senate leadership to build on recent momentum and prioritize timely consideration and passage of a bipartisan, bicameral Farm Bill 2.0. While we recognize the competing demands on congressional time and resources, the timeliness of this legislation to the agricultural economy and rural America cannot be overstated.
Our organizations stand ready to assist in any way possible and will support this process through enactment. Representing a broad cross-section of the agricultural community, we are committed to working collaboratively with Congress to ensure the final Farm Bill 2.0 is responsive, forward-looking and reflects today’s environment for producers and rural stakeholders across the country.
Thank you for your ongoing leadership and steadfast support for America’s farmers, ranchers and rural communities.
Sincerely,
