Farm Bill to Address BioFuel, Other Measures

It has been a very challenging time for most U.S. farmers, with federal nutrition programs being cut back, tariff wars hurting exports, and soaring input costs on items like fertilizer and diesel fuel.

Imports now account for a significant share of domestic supply, including roughly 60 percent of fresh fruit and 38 percent of fresh vegetables. Net farm income in 2026 is projected to remain flat at approximately $153.4 billion, which is roughly 24 percent below the record highs seen in 2022.

The current Farm Bill seeks to address the ongoing issues for American Producers through a series of measures designed to increase demand, aggressive marketing of US grown products, including pushing domestically grown feedstock for biofuels, etc.
