# Rural Counties Urge Republicans to Negotiate SNAP Costs in Farm Bill

> Rural county officials, including Meeker County, Minnesota commissioner Steve Schmitt, are pressing Congress on higher SNAP administrative costs. Since Oct. 1, 2026, the federal share of SNAP administrative costs has fallen from 50% to 25%, shifting the rest to states and counties. Counties are backing Senate Democrats' push to negotiate the issue in the farm bill.

## Why it matters

This is a domestic budget and legislative debate with little direct effect on feed grain or protein supply or prices. It matters mainly for farm bill timing, which could shape future farm support programs.
