The House is about to vote on the 2026 Farm Bill, and we can do better!
After a year of intense market volatility, severe weather disasters, and a drastically reduced federal work force, farmers and the American food system at large have been hit hard. We urgently need to pass a comprehensive farm bill that offers a new way forward. The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on a farm bill that simply isn’t strong enough to meet the needs of farmers right now.
This farm bill as currently written:
- Makes unnecessary changes to proven, popular, and crucial conservation programs that would further limit how many farmers are able to take advantage of these resources,
- Fails to provide funding for local food programs that would build stable domestic markets for farmers, foster local supply chain resiliency, and revitalize both urban and rural communities, and
- Fails to make common sense improvements that small, beginning, and diversified farmers need to access the safety net.
Farmers deserve more than what this farm bill offers. We must take action to tell our representatives to vote against its passage. Can you take 60 seconds to contact your Representative today, urging them to VOTE NO on the House farm bill?
