The committee will mark up the updated version of the Agricultural Act of 2026 on the morning of Thursday, August 6.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The latest Senate farm bill proposal comes up short on delivering the stability and level playing field that are so badly needed. American farmers and ranchers face a fundamentally destabilized agriculture landscape, and this farm bill would compound uncertainty by making deep cuts to conservation programs, withholding investments that would fuel domestic markets for local farmers, and leaving out critical farm safety net reforms. While we were heartened to see several modest, bipartisan policy improvements to the Senate\u2019s initial discussion draft, the overall bill is still lacking. Without significant changes, it won\u2019t meet most farmers\u2019 needs. We can and must do better. NSAC urges the Committee to aim high toward a bold and truly bipartisan process that can deliver lasting opportunity and autonomy for farmers and the communities they call home.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agriculture.senate.gov\/newsroom\/rep\/press\/release\/chairman-boozman-releases-updated-farm-bill-20-text-announces-business-meeting\">updated Agricultural Act of 2026<\/a> adds more than 80 pages of text to the initial discussion draft, which includes changes to nearly every title of the farm bill, from conservation, nutrition, research, local and regional food programs, and much more. Many of these changes bring the Senate\u2019s bill into closer alignment with the House-passed <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/blog\/unpacking-the-house-farm-bill-part-1\/\">Food, Farm, and National Security Act<\/a>.
