She introduced the Helping America’s Farmers Act, which would provide economic relief to farmers in times of crisis directly from USDA.
Introduce legislation to provide economic relief to farmers in times of crisis directly from the USDA.
Occurrences
Evidence
On May 20, 2026, Rep. Jahana Hayes announced the Scratch Cooked Meals for Students Act, saying it would create a USDA competitive grant program to expand scratch cooking in schools and use locally sourced ingredients; she said the bill strengthens partnerships with farmers and producers.
Assessments
The promise was narrowly to introduce legislation providing direct USDA economic relief to farmers during crises. The available evidence shows Hayes introduced a USDA-related school meals bill on May 20, 2026, but that measure focuses on scratch cooking and local sourcing, not direct crisis-relief assistance for farmers. I found no evidence that she introduced legislation matching the promised farmer-crisis relief policy, so the promised action is not established as delivered.
