The House just advanced Farm Bill 2.0 in a 224-200 bipartisan vote.
Congress, thank you for standing by America's farm families in moving this key measure forward!
Our first President said it best. America’s farm and ranch families are the foundation of this nation - and smart farm policies ensure we can keep this incredible tradition alive for generations to come. #ThankAFarmer
The State of the Countryside. America’s farm families are resilient, but not invincible. Congress and the Administration must continue to stand by our producers!

Cotton remains a crucial part of our rural economy.
Grateful for the opportunity to join growers in Seaboard to discuss expanding markets for American-grown cotton and supporting legislation like the Buying American Cotton Act. When we back American agriculture, we support rural communities, local jobs, and the farmers who keep our country running.
Shawn Arita from the Agricultural Policy Risk Center at @NDSU explained to @brownfield Ag News how inflation has eroded the over-quota sugar tariff, which was originally meant to defend American sugar producers. Listen here: https://t.co/cXrMtUGOhQ.
Over the past 250 years, America’s farm families have proven their resilience. But they aren’t immune to challenges at home and abroad. As Congress and the Administration weigh next steps, we urge them to stand by our farm families!

America’s farm and ranch families are the backbone of this nation. Times are tough in farm country. Congress must stand by our hardworking farm families who provide us with the safest, most abundant, and most affordable food supply the world has ever known!

A flood of highly subsidized over-quota foreign sugar is stealing U.S. market share, and America’s sugarbeet and sugarcane farmers and workers are paying the price. Producers cannot withstand another year of losses. Learn more here

“In farm country these days, it’s not good- at least in my part of the country it’s not.” @leaderjohnthune said.
“Just know there are a lot of folks out here who care deeply and profoundly about the ag industry.”
He thanked farmers and ranchers for what they do every day.
No matter the state, farmers are facing many of the same challenges. From eastern North Carolina to Texas, rising costs and economic uncertainty are putting real pressure on family farms and rural communities.
Grateful for the opportunity to join @TexasFarmBureau to discuss strengthening agriculture, supporting rural America, passing the Buying American Cotton Act, reforming the H2A program, and fighting for a strong Farm Bill.
Crop insurance is the #1 tool for managing that risk. In 2026, it remains the cornerstone of a stable food supply. It’s a win for farmers, a win for taxpayers, and a win for consumers.

Grateful to Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman @johnboozman for his tireless efforts on behalf of America’s farm and ranch families who are facing a perfect storm in the farm economy.
Congress must stand by America’s farm families!
America's farm families are the foundation of this nation - but the dire state of the farm economy is putting the future of many family farming operations at risk. As lawmakers consider the path forward for emergency assistance, we call on them to stand by America's farmers.
It’s planting season. The House passed a bipartisan Farm Bill last week - but the job’s not done.
Congress must continue to stand by America’s farm families, who are staring down a dire financial picture in farm country.
Farmers & ranchers applaud the House of Representatives for passing a new, modernized #FarmBill. We urge the Senate to follow the House’s lead & move this important bipartisan legislation forward. Investing in America’s farmers and ranchers is an investment in America’s families.
