Senate Advances Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ with Major Agricultural Wins
WASHINGTON (July 1, 2025) — National Sorghum Producers applauds the U.S. Senate’s passage of its reconciliation package, which includes several important provisions that will strengthen the farm safety net and deliver meaningful benefits for sorghum growers. The legislation, passed by a 51-50 vote, now returns to the House for further consideration ahead of the president’s July 4 deadline.
The package includes a $50 billion increase for the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program, reduced crop insurance premiums, and new investments in trade promotion, agricultural research, disaster assistance and tax policy certainty for family farms.
The legislation also extends the Section 45Z clean fuel production credit through 2029 and maintains strong language on domestic feedstock eligibility supported by U.S. farm groups. NSP supports the long-term stability this credit provides and will continue to advocate for biofuels policy that recognizes the value of sorghum in the energy economy.
“These are critical improvements that will help sorghum producers manage risk, plan for the future, and stay competitive,” said NSP Chair Amy France, a farmer from Scott City, Kan. “We’re grateful to Chairman Boozman and other leaders in the Senate Ag Committee who ensured these priorities were part of the final bill.”
NSP will continue working with lawmakers in both chambers to ensure the strongest possible outcome for sorghum producers as the bill advances.
