ASA Welcomes House Ag Action on 2026 Farm Bill

The American Soybean Association commends the House Agriculture Committee on advancing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.

"We appreciate that Chairman Thompson heard the concerns and needs of soybean farmers and addressed them in the bill," said Scott Metzger, ASA president and a soybean farmer from Ohio. "The provisions included will provide much-needed market and regulatory certainty for producers facing new risks and difficult business decisions."

Over the past two years, ASA has advocated for strengthening the farm bill to meet the pressing needs of soybean farmers. The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 includes significant enhancements to improve access to credit, meaningful investments to promote expansion and diversification of markets, and support for vital provisions such as the BioPreferred Program, pesticide labeling uniformity, full access to domestic markets for the meat products of our livestock customers, and investments in precision agriculture.

Strengthening the farm bill is critical for the future of U.S. soybeans, and ASA stands ready to work with lawmakers to advance this legislation and help stabilize today's challenging farm economy.
