“The legislative calendar shrinks with every passing day, which will make it difficult, but not impossible, to get a new Farm Bill enacted this year, but that will require a good-faith commitment from Senate Democrats to help the farmers, ranchers, and rural communities that rely on it,” Hyde-Smith said. “I hope my colleagues truly realize the significant headwinds battering the American agricultural sector and that it is our duty, as their representatives, to finally get a Farm Bill over the finish line. I know the producers, small businesses, and people I’ve talked to throughout Mississippi are more than ready for us to do our job on this issue,” Hyde-Smith continued.

Hyde-Smith said Congress has a duty to get a new Farm Bill enacted and over the finish line this year, while calling for Senate Democrats to help move it forward.

The promised outcome was passage of a new farm bill in 2026. Hyde-Smith appears to have materially worked toward it in the Senate Agriculture Committee, including backing provisions and having amendments adopted in markup, but the available evidence says the package stalled and, as of September 10, 2026, final passage remained uncertain. Because the year and same Senate term are still ongoing, this is not yet a failure, but the promised outcome has not been delivered.
