The committee's farm bill page states the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 expands investments in rural communities, restores regulatory certainty, improves risk management tools, and prioritizes American commodities on the global stage.
Assessments
Mann has taken same-term federal legislative actions that are directionally tied to agricultural market development, rural investment, commodity promotion, and biofuel demand, including voting for the cited farm bill vehicle and supporting fuel-choice legislation. Those actions qualify as support for efforts related to Kansas agriculture, but the evidence does not show a completed, specific outcome that materially added value to Kansas agricultural products before they left the state. Because the documented actions are supportive but indirect and do not establish full delivery of the promised value-added result, partial credit is appropriate.
