Now, I’m pressing to get the five-year farm bill to the president’s desk.
Press to pass a five-year farm bill and send it to the president's desk.
Occurrences
Evidence
Grassley’s official news page lists a July 2, 2026 item titled “Q&A: Farm Bill Update,” with preview text discussing the Working Families Tax Cuts Act and its farm safety-net effects.
The Senate Agriculture chair unveiled the Agricultural Act of 2026 as a Farm Bill discussion draft and said it was a foundation for continued work toward passage.
The committee release describes Farm Bill 2.0 as a discussion draft and notes a provision from the Grassley-Smith Healthy Dog Importation Act was included.
Senate Agriculture Committee Democrats said the Republican draft had bipartisan provisions but required negotiation to become a farm bill that could succeed on the Senate floor.
The House Agriculture Committee reported House passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 by 224-200 and said Senate progress was still needed.
The Senate Agriculture Committee membership page lists Charles Grassley, Republican of Iowa, as a majority member of the committee.
Assessments
A final five-year farm bill had not passed both chambers or been sent to the president as of the latest provided evidence. The House passed a farm-bill measure, and the Senate had only a discussion draft still requiring negotiation and passage. Grassley was an active Senate Agriculture Committee member and had at least one sponsored priority included in the Senate draft, so there is meaningful same-term effort, but the promised outcome remains pending rather than delivered.
