Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026
What does the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 do?
HR 7567 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA). This is a farm bill — the broad, multi-year law that reauthorizes most U.S. Department of Agriculture programs across twelve subject areas, from crop supports and conservation to food aid, farm credit, rural development, research, forestry, energy, and crop insurance. It also reauthorizes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) and makes administrative changes to how states run it. Many existing program authorizations that lapsed are extended through 2031. Reauthorizes USDA farm, conservation, trade, rural, research, and crop-insurance programs and SNAP through 2031, with disaster-assistance, specialty-crop, dairy, and SNAP administrative changes.
