The House Agriculture Committee passed its version of the farm bill, H.R. 8467, on a 33-21 vote and sent it to the full House.
The bill includes commodity price support enhancements, crop insurance strengthening, and expanded USDA loan guarantee limits. A $28 billion SNAP cut is drawing criticism, and the American Farm Bureau urged a floor vote.
Advancing the bill to the floor increases the likelihood of higher commodity support and credit access for farmers, a modest long-run bearish factor for crop prices.
