Could the “Big, Beautiful Bill” put the Farm Bill passage in jeopardy?

While lawmakers work to meet their July 4th deadline, ag groups are still waiting on a Farm Bill. There is concern that the “Big, Beautiful Bill” could put that in jeopardy, but Farm Bureau says farmers cannot afford to wait much longer.

“As we continue to see crop prices falling, as we continue to see pressures from, whether it’s animal disease or crop disease or drought, we require support for our farmers, whether that’s price supports in down markets or continued research and innovation to make sure that farmers have the technology they need to sustain through hard times,” said Associate Economist Samantha Ayoub.

The reconciliation package tackles several key parts of the Farm Bill.
