Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

Feenstra said the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 passed the House and included provisions from bills he introduced and co-led. The listed provisions included the FRIDGE Act to develop cold-chain storage and port improvements to ship Iowa agricultural goods worldwide, and the Agriculture Export Promotion Act to double MAP and FMD funding to support exports. Feenstra also said work was not done and called for Senate passage and the President's signature.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The House-passed farm bill incorporated Feenstra-backed provisions matching both halves of the promise: port/cold-chain infrastructure and export market support. Because the release says Senate passage and presidential signature were still needed, this supports partial rather than delivered status as of the refresh.
