Support Dairy Farmers and Advocate for the Farm Bill

The House of Representatives is gearing up to vote on the 2026 Farm Bill. NMPF needs you to urge your representative to support this critical piece of legislation. The farm bill is historically a comprehensive, bipartisan legislative package that is renewed every five years and sets federal agriculture and nutrition policy. The most recent farm bill expired in 2023 but has been extended through this Sept. 30. While the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law last year, included updates to several farm bill programs such as Dairy Margin Coverage, many critical policy changes were not included. Congress must pass a full, comprehensive farm bill to ensure USDA programs respond to the challenges dairy farmers and their cooperatives face.
