Feenstra materially advanced the promised direction during the same House term by co-leading the ACE Agriculture Act, which targets USDA agricultural R&D for high fertilizer prices, drought, poor soil health, and extreme weather, and by securing related research provisions in the House farm bill. However, the core outcome has not been fully delivered because the ACE Act remained only introduced/referred and the broader farm-bill package had not become law, with the Senate path still blocked as of the latest available status. This warrants partial credit for concrete advancement, not full delivery.
