MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The National Cotton Council (NCC) applauds House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson for releasing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, which includes a wide range of farm bill provisions that were unable to be included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
"Thanks to Chairman Thompson's tireless work, we were fortunate to see much of the farm bill signed into law as part of the OBBBA," said NCC Chairman Nathan Reed, "but now is the time to finish the job. Passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act would significantly benefit the cotton industry by safeguarding the marketing loan program during future shutdowns, advancing the effort to create a harvest incentive insurance option, and providing a commonsense regulatory framework for crop protection products."
The NCC urges bipartisan support for the Farm, Food, and National Security Act and stands ready to work with House and Senate leadership to secure final passage this year.
