"Last week, House Republicans passed the Farm Bill, providing Minnesota farmers, producers, and rural communities more resources and stability," said Congressman Emmer. "It was great joining so many friends across the ag community to discuss how these policies will make an impact on the men and women who clothe, fuel, and feed the world."
"It was an honor to speak on behalf of Minnesota farmers and ranchers as part of today's roundtable with Whip Emmer and agriculture leaders," said Minnesota Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing. "The farm bill is essential to keeping farms and ranches stable at a time when costs are rising and margins are tight, and continued delays are compounding the strain they are already facing."
Roundtable participants included farmers from the Sixth District and representatives from Minnesota Farm Bureau, Minnesota Pork Producers, Minnesota Wheat Growers, Minnesota Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts, Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association, Minnesota AgriGrowth, NAU County Insurance Company, Compeer Financial, Minnesota Corn Growers Association, and Minnesota Turkey Growers Association.
Background
With the Farm Bill extension set to expire on September 30, 2026, House Republicans passed the budget-neutral Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, commonly referred to as the Farm Bill, to reauthorize agricultural programs for the next five years. This legislation is supported by more than 500 key stakeholder groups and passed the House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote of 224 - 200.
Many of the priorities and needs of our nation's farmers and ranchers were addressed last year in H.R. 1, the Working Families Tax Cut Act. The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 builds on those improvements and addresses additional needs, including conservation programs, crop insurance, and investments in our rural communities.
