It’s now officially the U.S. Senate’s turn to wrangle over the future of America’s farmers. Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, introduced Farm Bill 2.0 on Tuesday.

Boozman released the following statement, saying the bill " ...provides farmers, ranchers, foresters and rural communities with the tools and resources they need to succeed. We can all agree that we must take steps to help America’s farm families, and one of the most important ways we demonstrate that commitment is by passing a bipartisan farm bill. This bill is built for the people who feed America.”

Not all 12 farm bill titles were addressed in the One Big Beautiful Bill, so Farm Bill 2.0 is critical to get a permanent bill in place. It builds on those farm safety net investments but makes updates to conservation, rural development and farm credit programs. The proposal also expands on the Working Families Tax Cuts farm safety net provisions, further improving existing commodity, dairy, standing disaster and crop insurance programs while also addressing specialty crops.
