It is my hope that Congress passes both the Farm, Food, and National Security Act and an agriculture-specific disaster relief appropriations package before the end of the year so that our farmers can continue feeding our nation and supporting our rural communities.
Support passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024.
Occurrences
Evidence
The article says the House-approved 2026 farm bill was awaiting Senate action and discusses policy consequences of the bill's farmland solar limits.
The House Agriculture Committee says the House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 by a final vote of 224-200, with 14 Democrats and over 96% of Republicans voting yes.
The committee's farm-bill page says the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is very similar to its 2024 namesake and cites more than 500 supporting stakeholder organizations.
Politico reports that a GOP-led farm bill cleared the House Agriculture Committee in May 2024 but did not proceed to a floor vote.
Assessments
The exact 2024 Farm, Food, and National Security Act was materially advanced in the 118th Congress by clearing the House Agriculture Committee in May 2024, but it did not reach House floor passage that term. In a later term, a very similar successor bill titled the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 passed the House on April 30, 2026, showing the underlying policy push continued. But the available evidence does not show final congressional passage or enactment, and it is not strong enough to credit Scott alone with full delivery of the outcome. That supports partial credit for meaningful advancement, with later-term timing.
