National Sorghum Producers Applauds House Agriculture Committee for Advancing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026
WASHINGTON (March 5, 2026) — The House Committee on Agriculture today advanced the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 by a bipartisan vote of 34–17, marking an important step forward in reauthorizing the nation’s farm bill.
“We applaud Chairman Thompson and the House Agriculture Committee for advancing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, which reauthorizes critical farm programs sorghum growers depend on to manage risk and remain competitive,” said NSP Chair Amy France, a farmer from Scott City, Kan. “A strong farm bill is essential not only for maintaining a strong American agricultural economy but also for ensuring our nation’s food security.”
The legislation builds on improvements enacted in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and includes provisions important to sorghum growers such as updates to agricultural credit programs, continued investment in research and market development and the permanent transfer of Food for Peace to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
NSP thanked members of the committee for advancing the legislation and urged Congress to continue working in a bipartisan manner to move a farm bill forward.
“Sorghum growers are facing rising input costs and continued market uncertainty,” France said. “Moving a strong, bipartisan farm bill forward will help ensure producers have the certainty and tools they need to remain competitive.”
