Let's Talk 2026 Farm Bill

Published | Video Starts at 03:11

This is a deeply partisan farm bill that does not address food affordability for families who are stretching every dollar right now through the SNAP program. This bill is also silent on the President's chaotic trade regime, which includes his illegal tariffs, which have skyrocketed export markets that producers rely on and have stoked chaos. We need a farm bill that really works for communities like ours. That means investing in agricultural research and innovation so that West Michigan farmers can stay competitive and lead the future of farming. (03:11–03:24)
