The Tennessee Farm Bureau outlines the status of the 2023 farm bill, noting that drafting is expected to begin after the August recess. The current bill covers the 2023 crop year and the 2023/24 marketing year, and dairy provisions expire in 2023.
Both Tennessee and American Farm Bureau have formed working groups to advocate for the new legislation.
The legislative timeline remains open, so no immediate change to crop or livestock prices follows from this update. Buyers should watch for drafts, which would signal future changes to commodity support and trade programs.
