Long-term impacts of 2023 Farm Bill

House Ag Committee Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson says the 2023 Farm Bill will have significant implications for the future of production agriculture.

“We’ve got a goal that we do the type of farm bill that we can take the productivity of the U.S. agriculture industry to 400% since the 1940s by 2035,” he said. “We can do that with the right policies we put forward.”

Speaking at a farm bill listening session in Florida this week, he said farmer feedback is critical.

“We need you at the table in order to get this done,” Thompson said. “You don’t want us writing this farm bill just listening to voices inside the beltway of Washington. That’s why we have worked so hard to be here. We will continue this process.”

The current farm bill expires in September.
