After years of delay, America’s farm families need a strong Farm Bill to contend with the challenges of today.
Smart farm policy decisions, like a strong Farm Bill, ensure we can keep the great tradition of American agriculture growing for years to come.
Pass the Farm Bill.
Farmers work sunup to sundown, through drought, floods, depressed commodity prices and against the odds, to feed and clothe our nation. When farmers face disasters and markets they can't control, a strong farm safety net keeps them on the land, and keeps food on our tables.
This #NationalRealSugarDay, we thank the farm families and workers who help keep it sweet in America! Smart farm policy, and strong U.S. sugar policy, serves as an important safety net for these incredible farm families and workers.

Happy National Real Sugar Day! Across the nation, 11,000 sugarbeet and sugarcane growers produce the equivalent of 4.5 BILLION bags of Real Sugar every year. That all-natural sugar powers so many sweet moments.
Thank you for supporting Real Sugar and the family farmers and workers who #KeepItSweetInAmerica!

Food security is national security. Today and every day, we thank our farmers for all they do.
Happy National Farmer’s day to America’s farm families who innovate, overcome, grow, provide, and more, day after day.

American agriculture is at a crossroads.
Chairman Boozman put it well - this is a generational crisis.
Congress must meet the moment. For our farmers, our ranchers, and for the future of our nation.

America’s farm and ranch families are being squeezed from every angle - and as harvest rolls on, they’re staring down another year in the red.
Food security is national security - and lawmakers and the Administration must continue to stand by our farmers.
#ThankAFarmer
America’s farm and ranch families are integral to our nation’s success.
A strong agriculture sector = a strong America 🇺🇸 💪

It is estimated that American sugarbeet and sugarcane farmers have lost more than $3 billion in potential income over the past 2 years due to highly subsidized over-quota foreign sugar.

As @CongressmanGT led a @HouseAgGOP hearing on the innovation and hard work of American farmers yesterday, we spotted something familiar... 👀
Thanks for helping us #KeepItSweetInAmerica, Mr. Chairman!
‼️ Farm Bill 2.0 has advanced out of the Senate Agriculture Committee in a 12-11 vote. ‼️
It's past due - and America's farm families need an updated Farm Bill to contend with the realities of growing a crop in 2026.
@senateaggop @JohnBoozman
The House Agriculture Committee gathered this morning for a hearing on increasing demand and opportunities for homegrown products here and abroad.
Chairman Thompson summed it up well: food security is national security, and our farmers are the best in the world at what they do.
🚨Producers can enroll in ARC/PLC for the 2026 crop year starting September 16 through December 11. 🚨
➡️ Producers can also elect and enroll in ARC/PLC for the 2027 crop year from November 2 through March 15, 2027.
Key improvements to the farm safety net were made through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, including updates for ARC/PLC, crop insurance, and more. Strong farm policy, including a strong farm safety net, is crucial for America’s farm and ranch families.
