Dear Speaker Johnson, Leader Jeffries, Leader Thune, and Leader Schumer:

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express our sincere appreciation for your commitment to America’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. We are grateful for the tireless efforts of the respective Agriculture Committee’s leadership in working towards a bipartisan Farm Bill.

While vital provisions to ensure long-term stability and competitiveness for U.S. agriculture were included in the budget reconciliation bill, it cannot and should not be a substitute for a full Farm Bill. The full suite of programs across all Farm Bill titles are essential to the viability of our agricultural system and rural communities.

As we are now in the second half of 2025, we urge you to prioritize the development and passage of a Farm Bill 2.0 that fully reflects the evolving needs of American agriculture. We understand there are many needs to address during the remainder of the 119th Congress, and limited floor time must be carefully prioritized. However, we encourage leadership in both chambers to devote the necessary resources to ensuring timely debate and action.

We stand ready to support in any way that would be helpful to this effort. Our organizations are deeply rooted in the rural communities that will be most affected, and we offer our collective voice and expertise to help shape a strong, forward-looking Farm Bill.

Thank you again for your leadership and continued support of American agriculture and rural communities.

Sincerely,
