House Ag Committee Chair Glenn GT Thompson (R-PA) said working for the nation’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities is an honor, and he was grateful that the Farm Bill passed through the House 224-200. “It’s an honor, even when the work requires debating the farm bill through the night,” Thompson said. “I can think of no more important work than championing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, and I’m pleased it passed out of the House with a strong bipartisan vote.” With 14 Democrats and one independent voting in favor of the bill, it’s the highest number of votes from the minority party on a House farm bill since 2008. Only three Republicans voted against the bill, so with over 96 percent of the GOP voting in favor, it’s the highest level of Republican support for a House farm bill in history. “I especially thank everyone involved in negotiations that allowed the farm bill to proceed to the floor and that helped secure a future vote on year-round E15 in May,” Thompson added.
