How should Congress fund farm programs and food assistance?

The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R. 7567) would reauthorize crop subsidies, conservation, and nutrition programs through 2031. The central fight is over SNAP: whether to keep recent reductions and cost shifts to states, or restore that funding. The Senate is now writing its version. Where do you stand?

Weigh in

A multi-year farm bill gives farmers and rural communities certainty. Supporters argue that tightening SNAP through work expectations and shared state costs targets aid to those who need it while controlling federal spending.

The case against

Anti-hunger advocates say the SNAP reductions and cost shifts would drop families and states off a cliff during high grocery prices, and argue nutrition funding should be restored before the bill moves forward.
