House Passes Bill Boosting U.S. Wheat Grower's

Farm Safety Net Boosted in New House-Passed Legislation

The House of Representatives has passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), which includes several top priorities of the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG).

The legislation addresses critical farm bill and federal tax policy issues aimed at helping U.S. wheat producers invest in their operations, stay competitive globally, and contribute to national food security and economic strength.

“NAWG appreciates the House of Representatives for taking an important step forward in the reconciliation process. This legislation reflects many of the key priorities America’s wheat growers have been advocating for over the past three years related to farm bill and tax extension. As producers face high input costs, low commodity prices, and the increasing impact of extreme weather, it is vital that the improvements to the farm safety net contained in this legislation remain intact," said Pat Clements, NAWG President.

"Additionally, Congress must act this year to extend – and improve upon – the key provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We urge the Senate to act swiftly and pass a bill that delivers the long-term stability and support that wheat growers need to maintain their operations and help feed families across the country. NAWG will continue working with lawmakers to ensure wheat growers' voices are heard throughout this process.”
