National agriculture groups continued reacting to the Budget Reconciliation Bill approved by the Senate on Tuesday. The National Corn Growers Association says the bill contains many of the group’s federal tax priorities, including permanently extending key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. “That will provide more certainty for farmers,” said NCGA President Kenneth Hartman Jr. The National Sorghum Producers appreciate the package, including a $50 billion increase for the Price Loss Coverage Program and reduced crop insurance premiums. “These are critical improvements for managing risk,” says NSP Chair Amy France. Not all of the reaction was positive. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Ag Committee, says the Big Beautiful Betrayal is “bad for families trying to put food on the table, for rural economies already dealing with tariff impacts, and for state and local governments working to make critical investments in the future.”
