Senate Ag Committee Releases Draft Farm Bill Text

Washington, D.C. (June 23, 2026) - Today, the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry released draft text for Farm Bill 2.0. The National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) CEO Sam Kieffer provided the following statement.

"We are encouraged to see Chairman Boozman continue moving the farm bill process forward with the release of draft legislative text. Wheat farmers need certainty as they contend with stubbornly high input costs, commodity prices that barely break even, and ongoing volatility in global markets. NAWG is reviewing the proposal to assess how it addresses wheat growers' needs, including crop insurance, the farm safety net, trade, research, conservation, and humanitarian programs that move U.S. grain. We look forward to working with Congress and the White House to get this legislation across the finish line this year."
