U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra saluted the passage of a new Farm Bill by the full House of Representatives on Thursday.

“Today marks a major milestone not just for Iowa agriculture, but for agriculture across the country,” the Republican from Hull said in a written statement. “I’m proud to help deliver this critical legislation across the finish line.”

He asserted that the measure — formally known as the Farm, Food and National Security Act of 2026 — includes part or all of 26 bills that he introduced, co-sponsored or otherwise led.

Those bills, he said, would:

• Lay out the Department of Agriculture’s role in negotiating regionalization agreements for livestock exports from unaffected areas of the country in the event of an animal disease outbreak.

• Provide loans for precision agriculture.

• Develop cold storage and port improvements to enable shipment of beef, pork and other perishable items.

• Expand oversight of foreign ownership of farm land.

• Expand behavioral health services to rural communities.

• Work to prevent tractor rollovers.

• Support enhanced genetics research.

• Modify the time frame for payment rate adjustments in the Livestock Indemnity Plan.

• Connect rural communities to high speed internet.

• Reduce payment errors in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

• Support high risk, high reward research.

• Extend grants for food and agricultural science education.

• Combat flooding.

• Expand crop insurance for farmers who are veterans.

Overturn California’s livestock rules that impact Iowa pork producers.

Double funding to support agricultural exports.

Classify sustainable aviation fuel as an advanced biofuel.

Ensure poultry producers receive fair compensation when disease-control measures impact their operations.

Allow livestock auction owners to invest in small packing facilities.

Provide grants to small and family-owned meat processors.

Feenstra said the bill was “shaped by the voices of our farmers, producers, and manufacturers.”

“I’ve worked to ensure that farmers and working families are heard in this Farm Bill, and that it provides the certainty, investment and opportunity they deserve,” he said.

“The vote for this bill was a vote for our farmers, and I’m honored to have helped move it forward,” he added.

The bill now goes to the Senate, where its first stop will be the Agriculture Committee. Iowa senators Joni Ernst and Charles Grassley, who are both Republicans, are on that committee.
