WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the House Committee on Agriculture advanced the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, sending the legislation to the House floor for consideration. Congressman Derrick Van Orden released the following statement regarding the advancement of the bill:

"Agriculture is the cornerstone of Wisconsin and the backbone of our nation. From dairy farms to family operations that have been passed down for generations, our farmers help feed the nation and keep rural communities strong. Wisconsin isn't just a dairy state - it's theDairy State, and our producers set the standard for hard work and quality.

The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 builds on the progress we made supporting farmers, ranchers, and rural communities and delivers the tools our producers need to stay competitive and our Nation fed.

Wisconsin farmers work tirelessly to provide food for families across this country, and they deserve certainty and support from Washington. I'm proud to work across the aisle to deliver for our farmers and rural communities and look forward to advancing this legislation on the House floor."

The legislation now heads to the House floor for consideration.
