DELMARVA — The House Agriculture Committee has approved the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, sending the bill to the House floor after a marathon markup session that lasted more than 20 hours. The committee voted 34 to 17 to advance the legislation.

Historically, farm bills have been passed every 5 years since the 1930s, Glickman stated, emphasizing the importance of regular policy updates for agricultural producers.
