Reduce burdensome regulations on Wisconsin farmers and agricultural producers.
Occurrences
Evidence
Wied said he voted to pass the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026; the release says the bill would "restore regulatory certainty" and that one of Wied's amendments would modernize USDA inspections for organic operations by allowing virtual inspections annually and in-person inspections every 3 years for low-risk domestic producers.
Wied joined the House Agriculture Committee to pass the bipartisan Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 out of committee; the release says the bill would "restore regulatory certainty" and that Wied's ROI amendment would modernize inspection requirements for organic operations.
Congress.gov lists H.R. 7567 as the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, with the latest recorded action as referral to the House Agriculture Committee and no enacted-law status shown.
The House Agriculture Committee reported that the House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 by a 224-200 vote and that Senate action was still needed before the bill could reach the President.
The committee’s Farm Bill page says the 2026 package would give producers better tools, restore regulatory certainty in the interstate marketplace, improve specialty-crop risk management, and expand access to credit.
The section-by-section summary describes a Regulatory Reform subtitle amending FIFRA, including exclusions for certain substances, EPA-USDA coordination on pesticide risk mitigation, nationwide uniformity for pesticide labeling, limits on local pesticide requirements, and lawful-use language for registered pesticides.
The House Agriculture Committee announced that the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 passed out of committee after a markup and would move toward a final House floor vote.
Assessments
Wied took concrete same-term legislative action toward the promise by helping advance and voting for the 2026 Farm, Food, and National Security Act, including amendments and provisions framed as restoring regulatory certainty and easing inspection or pesticide-related requirements for agricultural producers. However, the evidence shows the bill had passed the House and still needed Senate and presidential action, with no enacted-law status or implemented regulatory reduction shown. That supports partial credit for serious progress, not full delivery.
Wied materially advanced regulatory-relief measures for farmers during his current House term, including voting for the 2026 farm bill package and securing amendments aimed at modernizing organic inspection requirements and restoring regulatory certainty. However, the evidence shows legislative progress through committee and House passage, not final enactment or a completed broad reduction of burdensome regulations on Wisconsin farmers and agricultural producers. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
