From AmericanHort

Big news for the horticulture industry: the 2026 Farm Bill is moving forward!

"AmericanHort applauds Chairman John Boozman and the Senate Agriculture Committee for advancing the 2026 Farm Bill to committee markup. This is an important step toward enacting a long-overdue Farm Bill, and the specialty crop provisions included in the legislation will provide meaningful support for horticulture businesses across the country. We appreciate the Committee's leadership and the hard work of its staff. We urge the full Senate to move swiftly to continue the bipartisan momentum by passing a Farm Bill that supports the needs of America's farmers and growers and the businesses that serve them," said Matt Mika, Vice President of Government Affairs, AmericanHort.

We encourage the full Senate to keep the bipartisan momentum going!
