Thank you, @SecRollins, for standing up for the crop protection tools wheat growers rely on every day. America's farmers need access to science-based innovations that help them remain productive, competitive, and keep food affordable.
Strong comments from @SecRollins before @HouseAgGOP on the importance of protecting farmers’ access to essential crop protection tools. At a time when farmers are facing tight margins and growing uncertainty, it is encouraging to see USDA leadership recognize what is at stake for our food supply, national security, and rural communities.

Farming is built on resilience, but no one should have to carry stress, anxiety, or hardship alone. Breaking the stigma around mental health starts with conversation and access to trusted resources.

Today, we celebrate the hardworking farmers and ranchers who feed our nation and the world. Wheat growers play a vital role in our agriculture community, growing the grain that nourishes families, supports communities, and drives economies both at home and abroad. #NationalAgDay

Wheat farmers and researchers were in DC this week, urging Congress and the administration to prioritize wheat research. Research is one of the most powerful tools farmers have to stay competitive, develop better varieties, manage disease, and produce the highest quality wheat.

NAWG is excited to see this legislation move forward. Especially encouraged to see key wins in the Trade & Food Aid titles, including movement of OBBBA funds into MAP and FMD, and the transfer of Food for Peace to USDA.
The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is the direct result of listening to farmers, ranchers, and rural Americans. This bill is widely supported by stakeholders who understand the importance of a new farm bill. VIEW THE FULL LIST OF SUPPORTERS HERE: agriculture.house.gov/upload…
