The Missouri Corn Growers Association (MCGA) is commending Congress for including key farm provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB), marking critical wins for farmers, rural communities, and the U.S. agricultural economy.
The broad budget reconciliation bill passed the U.S. Senate July 1 and cleared the House today. It now heads to the president’s desk for an expected signature. The final bill includes key MCGA-backed farm bill policies and tax provisions that provide needed stability for corn farmers in the current 2025 crop year and beyond.
“We needed Congress to step up with policies that protect farmers’ ability to stay in business,” said MCGA President Matt Lambert of Laclede, Mo. “We’ve been working hard for several years to secure improvements to the farm safety net, expand global markets, and extend tax tools that are essential to our operations. While this isn’t the comprehensive farm bill we envisioned, these measures still deliver real benefits for Missouri corn farmers in today’s challenging environment.”
