Grassley said the Senate Agriculture Committee chairman's farm bill discussion draft included several of his introduced or co-sponsored priorities, including the U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan, which would standardize biosecurity, traceability and disease surveillance for pork producers.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official Grassley statement specifically ties his farm-bill push to inclusion of U.S. SHIP language matching the commitment, showing concrete advancement but not final enactment.

Grassley's office said the Senate Agriculture Committee failed to advance the 2026 Farm Bill and quoted Grassley saying he had fought for years to deliver a new five-year Farm Bill and hoped the committee could improve the bill and vote again in September.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This later official update indicates the farm bill vehicle carrying the U.S. SHIP provision had stalled before enactment, so the commitment remained short of full delivery despite continued effort.

Grassley materially advanced the U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan by pushing language matching the promise into Senate Agriculture Committee farm-bill materials and tying it to his introduced or co-sponsored priorities. However, as of August 24, 2026, the farm bill vehicle had stalled and the U.S. SHIP provision had not been enacted or finalized into a federal program, so the standardized biosecurity, traceability, and disease-surveillance outcome was not fully delivered. Because he remains in the same Senate term and the effort is still active, this warrants partial credit rather than full delivery or a final failure finding.
