Division D is titled Extension of Agricultural Programs. Section 4101 continued authorities from the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 until September 30, 2025, rather than enacting a new farm bill.

At the end of the 118th Congress, Congress extended the 2018 farm bill framework instead of passing a new farm bill.

Roll Call 517 was on motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R.10545, American Relief Act, 2025; status passed 366-34. Graves (MO) voted Yea.

Graves voted for the year-end law that extended agricultural programs, but that action preserved the prior farm-bill authorities rather than passing a new farm bill.

Division E is titled Extension of Agricultural Programs. Section 5002 continued Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 authorities, including to September 30, 2026 for covered authorities.

In the later Congress, lawmakers again extended the 2018 farm-bill authorities rather than replacing them with a new farm bill.

Assessments

The promised outcome was passage of a new Farm Bill in the relevant Congress. The 118th Congress did not enact a new farm bill; it extended 2018 farm-bill authorities through the American Relief Act, 2025. Graves voted for that extension, but an extension is not the promised new Farm Bill, and the main House farm-bill vehicle did not become law. Later 119th Congress activity also reflects another extension and an introduced bill rather than enacted replacement legislation, with no evidence that Graves sponsored, cosponsored, or materially advanced the later vehicle.
