Flood issued a statement after House passage of H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act. He said the bill modernizes key agriculture programs for farmers and ranchers, protects and expands crop insurance, market access, and USDA Rural Development, and includes incentives for innovation and technology, including precision agriculture. The release says ten Flood-supported bills were included in the Farm Bill.

Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman said committee Democrats voted against advancing the farm bill. He said the proposal was intended to strengthen the farm safety net, invest in rural America, provide producers confidence after years of delayed reauthorization, and incorporated more than 100 bipartisan bills and priorities.
Assessments
Flood took relevant same-term legislative action by supporting farm-bill provisions and related bills that were incorporated into the House-passed Farm, Food, and National Security Act, including producer-focused agriculture, crop insurance, rural development, precision agriculture, and working-lands conservation-related priorities. However, the broader farm bill had not been enacted and the Senate Agriculture Committee effort was blocked as of August 6, 2026, so the promised policy direction was materially advanced but not fully delivered into law.
