House and Senate Agriculture Committees plan to draft language this fall for a second farm bill, sometimes called Farm Bill 2.0, which could include a trade aid package. Some Washington lobbyists doubt it can pass in 2025 or even 2026, citing high costs and partisan disputes over nutrition spending.
Nutrition accounts for more than 80% of farm bill expenditures.
Uncertainty over farm bill passage affects expectations for future farm support and the size of government payments. Passage odds are low, so the near-term price impact is minimal.
