Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson is highlighting the 2026 Florida Farm Bill, SB 290, and its proposals to protect freedom, family, and farmers. The 2026 Florida Farm Bill, sponsored by Senator Keith Truenow and Representative Danny Alvarez, will support and defend Florida agriculture and Florida’s farmers, ranchers, and growers; prohibit local governments from restricting or banning gasoline-powered farm and lawn care equipment; protect first responders and the public from dangerous signal jamming technology; safeguard roadways and the public by cracking down on organized cheating on commercial driver license English proficiency exams; shield residents from unwanted solicitation by prohibiting commercial solicitation on property that complies with signage requirements; and much more.
“The 2026 Florida Farm Bill is about protecting freedom, family, and Florida’s farmers,” said Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson. “With the leadership of Senator Keith Truenow and Representative Danny Alvarez, this bill defends the people who feed our state and our nation while also protecting the public from dangerous and disruptive technologies, organized fraud, and government overreach. Together, we’re strengthening the backbone of Florida’s economy and ensuring our state remains a place where freedom, family, and farmers can thrive.”
Senator Keith Truenow (R-Tavares) said, “Florida’s agriculture industry is the foundation of our economy and our way of life.
