# Congressional Power Shift Puts Farm Bill Negotiations at a Crossroads for Pork Producers

Negotiations remain stalled over when states should begin sharing the cost of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, creating uncertainty about the timing and shape of the broader legislation.

The farm bill can affect livestock and feed-related programs, but the reported dispute is centered on nutrition funding and no specific commodity provision is identified. The political uncertainty creates no clear near-term feed-price direction.
