After enduring nearly 12 hours of House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries’ “Magic Minute” filibuster, the U.S. House passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Thursday afternoon. American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall applauded the bill’s passage, now on its way to President Donald Trump’s desk for a final signature.

Among key ag provisions, the bill strengthens the producer safety net by investing in modifications to the Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage commodity programs that are more responsive to the current economic environment.

“Improvements to farm safety net programs that reflect today’s agricultural economy and maintaining important tax provisions will directly benefit farm families,” Duvall said, adding that prices being paid to farmers continue to fall, while expenses remain stubbornly high. “The combination is taking a toll — America lost more than 141,000 farms in a five-year period, leading to more consolidation of family farms. Increases to reference prices as well as investments in conservation, research and trade are desperately needed, especially since it’s been seven years since passage of a new farm bill. Farmers will stand a better chance of enduring tough times so they can plant for another season.”
