The world has changed dramatically since the 2018 farm bill. That’s why producers have been calling on senators to put more farm in the farm bill.

Today RM @JohnBoozman & his Republican colleagues released a framework to do just that.

Always so fun to meet with @NebraskaFFA members when they come to Washington! Thank you for making time to meet with me. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in our nation’s capital!

I was proud to support a long-time friend and Iowan Glen Smith to serve as our Under Secretary for Rural Development @USDA. 

Glen has spent almost a decade helping strengthen the backbone of American agriculture — ensuring farmers and rural businesses have the credit and financial tools they need to succeed.

Now that he has passed out of @SenateAgGOP, I look forward to his confirmation by the full Senate!

This @WSJ editorial gets its exactly right. Our SNAP reforms empower able-bodied adults without dependents to work, learn or volunteer –– protecting the integrity of nutrition assistance so it can serve those who truly need it.

This week we are celebrating Fargo’s #AgTechWeek, highlighting North Dakota’s leadership in agricultural innovation. The event brings together producers, researchers and industry leaders to explore new tech and solutions that will help shape the future of Ag.

[Coach Tommy Tuberville @SenTuberville]

We must never forget the farmers and producers who put the food on our tables, fuel our communities, and drive our economy.

Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act last year, Alabama farm families will receive a HUGE increase in payments.

[House Committee on Agriculture @HouseAgGOP]

💬HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN RURAL AMERICA. @SecRollins understands the monumental impacts of the Working Families Tax Cuts on American agriculture.

✅ increased reference prices
✅ 30 million new base acres
✅ 2 million farms spared from the death tax

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

Great to welcome @ArFB women farmers and agricultural leaders to Washington for @FarmBureau’s ACE Summit.

Their advocacy and dedication to agriculture strengthen Arkansas’s farm economy and rural communities. As we recognize the International Year of the Woman Farmer, we celebrate their contributions and reaffirm our commitment ensuring their voices help shape the future of the industry. #ARinDC

[U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith @SenHydeSmith]

The confirmation of New World Screwworm in Texas is alarming, but we’ve beaten this parasite before and we can do it again. Congress took an important step by reauthorizing and expanding animal health programs in the Working Families Tax Cut Act – and with the right tools, resources, and partners in place, I’m optimistic that we will eradicate this threat and protect America’s livestock industry.

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

At a time when American agricultural producers are facing great financial uncertainty, a renegotiated USMCA can provide much-needed certainty and the opportunity for new markets to sell American-grown commodities.

Chairmen @JohnBoozman and @CongressmanGT on the domestic detection of New World Screwworm: "We have the tools, resources and an action plan to aggressively respond, enhance surveillance and prevent further spread. By working closely with producers, animal health officials, and our federal and state partners, we will take the necessary steps to protect and safeguard America’s livestock industry."

Great to meet with the National Grain and Feed Association today — a $1.4 billion industry that connects American farmers to the world by moving crops, feeding livestock, and driving exports.

We talked trade, a modern Farm Bill, and the reliable transportation network that keeps it all moving.

[Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune]

Great to sit down with Jordan Scott, a South Dakotan serving on the American Soybean Association board, to discuss the farm bill and the ag economy.

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

Congratulations to the @ArFB 2026 County Farm Families of the Year. They represent the dedication of Natural State ag producers who work tirelessly to provide safe, affordable & abundant food and fiber.

We're proud of these outstanding families.

Kansas is one of the fastest-growing dairy states in the nation, producing nearly 5 billion pounds of milk in 2025. Happy National Dairy Month to the dedicated dairy farmers in Kansas who help feed our country and the world.

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

We’ve heard directly from farmers and ranchers across the country about the challenges they’re facing and what they need from Farm Bill 2.0

@SenateAgGOP is committed to putting more farm in the Farm Bill and ensuring America’s producers have the tools they need to continue feeding, fueling and clothing the world.

A vote for the Farm Bill is a vote for our farmers.
