# US elections set to remake agriculture committees

> Changes in the House and Senate agriculture committees following the 2026 midterm elections are expected to shape debates on the next farm bill, nutrition spending, trade and competitiveness. Commodity groups are expected to push for stronger safety-net support, including higher reference prices and expanded crop insurance, as crop prices retreat from recent highs.

## Why it matters

A reshaped farm bill debate could change future price support and insurance levels, which affects farm margins and planting decisions. The direct near-term price impact on feed commodities is limited.
