THE TIME IS NOW! Support the Farm Bill.

TAKE ACTION: Use the link in comments to email your U.S. Representative and urge a YES vote.

The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to consider the 2026 Farm Bill this week.
Farmers have gone without the certainty of a new Farm Bill since 2023. It’s time for Congress to pass a modern, five-year Farm Bill that reflects today’s agriculture.

Here’s a quick catch-up so you know where this important piece of legislation stands:
✅ House Ag Committee → DONE
🔄 House Floor Vote → IN PROCESS
⏳ Senate Consideration & Conference → NEXT
