WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — The House Agriculture Committee is expected to release legislative text for a new Farm Bill on Friday.
Committee Chairman, Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-PA) has referred to the proposal as “Farm Bill 2.0,” noting that previous budget legislation, such as the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (OBBBA) and the November Continuing Resolution, addressed some funding components, but says there is nothing “skinny” about the additional policy work that remains.
“A new farm bill is long overdue, and the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is an important step forward in providing certainty to our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities,” Thompson said in a statement released Friday afternoon. “We made historic agricultural investments last summer in the Working Families Tax Cuts (H.R. 1), but there are many key policy components that remain to be addressed. With that in mind, the House Committee on Agriculture will begin marking up a new farm bill on February 23.”
Thompson has said he hopes to move the bill to markup during the final week of the month.
