The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026

A modern farm bill for modern challenges.

Since the first farm bill was passed in 1933, American agriculture has changed—a lot. Science, technology, and innovation have allowed our country to produce the safest, most abundant, and most affordable food supply in the world.

If one thing remains the same, it’s that farming and ranching is not easy work. But at the House Committee on Agriculture, we also know that no one works harder than our producers, as long as they’re given the right tools and have a fighting shot. This bill works to give producers that fighting shot through providing better tools.

The new challenges and opportunities our producers face require new policy, and the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 rises to meet the occasion. This bill builds on the historic ag investments made last summer in H.R. 1, often known as the Working Families Tax Cuts.

The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is very similar to its namesake in 2024, with a few key updates. The programs – those not included in the Working Families Tax Cuts – span across all 12 titles of the farm bill. They expand investments in rural communities, bring science-backed management back to our national forests, and restore regulatory certainty in the interstate marketplace. These programs improve risk management tools for specialty crop producers, lower energy costs in rural America, and prioritize American commodities on the global stage. The new farm bill will expand producers’ access to credit, promote precision agriculture, and enhance conservation programs for working lands.

The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is a step forward—for farmers, ranchers, and everyone else. Because when rural America thrives, we all thrive.
