[Congressman Jim Baird @RepJimBaird]

June is National Dairy Month! Dairy is a vital part of Indiana’s Ag economy, producing approximately four million pounds of milk per day. With hundreds of farms across our state, our dairy producers are helping feed the nation and the world! 🐄🥛

[Rep. Randy Feenstra @RepFeenstra]

For too long, foreign entities have acquired farmland with little oversight or accountability.

That’s why I was pleased to see my FARMLAND Act included in the Farm Bill to strengthen oversight, close security gaps, and ensure America’s farmland remains in the hands of future generations of Americans.

[House Committee on Agriculture @HouseAgGOP]

From the farm to the breakfast table, milk plays an important role in feeding families across America. The House Committee on Agriculture is proud to support the dairy farmers who make it all possible. Cheers!

[House Committee on Agriculture @HouseAgGOP]

Today and every day, we thank our farmers and ranchers for the vital work they do in their fields, pastures, and barns.

Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day is an opportunity to reflect on the unique challenges producers face as they work to feed, fuel, and clothe America.

The House Committee on Agriculture remains committed to supporting our hardworking producers through meaningful ag policy—from historic investments in the farm safety net to expanding credit access in the 2026 farm bill.

[Rep. David Valadao @RepDavidValadao]

Thank you @SecRollins for taking the time to engage with Central Valley agricultural leaders.

Our farmers, ranchers, and producers are facing rising input costs, workforce shortages, burdensome regulations, and the need for a stronger specialty crop safety net, and this conversation reinforced the importance of continued collaboration.

I look forward to continuing to work with USDA on commonsense policies that support Central Valley agriculture and give producers the certainty they need to plan for the future.

[Dept. of Agriculture @USDA]

Big wins for U.S. cotton! 💪 By adding 30 million base acres to ARC/PLC, this provides a much-needed foundation for producers to stay competitive and secure.

[Rep. Mark Harris @RepMarkHarrisNC]

Great sitting down with @CongressmanGT, Chairman of @HouseAgGOP, to discuss the House-passed Farm Bill and our work to strengthen American agriculture.

I am proud to fight for the hardworking farmers and producers of NC-08 and help deliver the certainty they need.

[House Committee on Agriculture @HouseAgGOP]

ONE WEEK OUT: Last Thursday, @BankingGOP advanced the CLARITY Act out of committee, following in the footsteps of the House Committee on Agriculture, @FinancialCmte, and @SenateAgGOP.

The digital asset landscape needs certainty and clear rules of the road. It’s time to get this landmark bill to President Trump’s desk.

[Rep. Randy Feenstra @RepFeenstra]

Corn exports reached $3.1 billion in the first two months of this year — up 6% in value!

I was proud to lead legislation in the Farm Bill to help open new export markets through expanded infrastructure investment in my FRIDGE Act.

Corn is one of Iowa’s top exports, and I remain committed to fighting for our farmers and expanding access to markets around the world.

[Senate Ag Committee Republicans @SenateAgGOP]

Producers continue to sound off on the positive impacts of the Working Families @TaxCuts.

@ArFB President Dan Wright shares how the new poultry insurance pilot program gives more options for growers to manage risk and better handle rising input costs.

Next step: Farm Bill 2.0.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Today, we convened another Fertilizer Briefing and Press Conference alongside @SecretaryWright, @epaleezeldin, Director Kevin Hassett, @DepSecVaden, @SenJohnHoeven, @JohnBoozman, @RogerMarshallMD, @CongressmanGT, @ASACivilWorks, and @RepMann to report on and discuss immediate actions and long-term solutions to strengthen and ultimately reshore America’s fertilizer supply chain and deliver relief for our farmers. 🇺🇸

We are advancing shovel-ready projects for 2026 and taking immediate action to stabilize supply ahead of planting season through expanded imports, Jones Act waivers, regulatory reforms, and increased domestic production.

This is an all-hands-on-deck effort to lower costs, expand production, and put American farmers first.

[House Committee on Agriculture @HouseAgGOP]

Food security is national security. The House Committee on Agriculture continues to work with @USDA and @SecRollins to prioritize solutions in the fertilizer space that balance the need for short-term relief with progress toward long-term stability.

[Senate Ag Committee Republicans @SenateAgGOP]

We hit a home run for agriculture in the Working Families @TaxCuts, delivering historic investments in Farm Bill programs, including a major boost to the risk management tools that farmers sought for years.🚜

While we work to advance bipartisan Farm Bill 2.0, producers and farm families around the country are sounding off about the critical support they’re receiving and the impact for rural America.

Texas peanut farmer Mason Becker shares some of the meaningful policy improvements that are helping his operation.🥜

[Texas Dairymen @TXDairymen]

The U.S. House has passed a Farm Bill that includes several major #dairy priorities, supports whole milk options in schools, strengthens dairy trade protections & more. What it could mean for Texas dairy families and consumers – if it passes the Senate: https://t.co/G1M617d7m6

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Today’s announcement is a major step toward restoring American fertilizer production and reducing our reliance on foreign suppliers. 🇺🇸

Through @USDA investments and partnerships, the projects announced today are expected to increase domestic fertilizer production by nearly 4.5 million tons annually — helping support roughly 400,000 producers and 290 million acres of farmland across the country.

For too long, farmers have faced rising input costs and supply chain disruptions driven by global instability and over-dependence on imports. Expanding domestic production helps strengthen our food security, lower costs for producers, and keep American agriculture competitive.

There is still more work ahead, but this is an incredible step in delivering long-term solutions for rural America and the farmers who feed, fuel, and clothe the world.

@epaleezeldin @SecretaryWright

[Senate Ag Committee Republicans @SenateAgGOP]

"This is an important step forward that builds on the Senate Ag Committee’s efforts to regulate digital commodities and strengthen consumer protections. I commend Chairman Tim Scott for his leadership and look forward to continuing this progress to advance bipartisan digital asset market structure legislation through the Senate." – Chairman @JohnBoozman

[Financial Services GOP @FinancialCmte]

NEW: Chairman @RepFrenchHill and @HouseAgGOP Chairman @CongressmanGT released the following statement after @BankingGOP advanced the CLARITY Act out of committee:

[Congressman Brad Finstad @RepFinstad]

I’m proud of the work my @HouseAgGOP colleagues and I put in to pass a strong, bipartisan Farm Bill through the House. I authored 17 provisions in this legislation that give our farmers more tools to feed and fuel the world, like modernizing FSA loan limits for young and beginning farmers and doubling funding for programs that open new markets for American producers.
