Senate farm bill draft focuses on farm economy, keeps ‘Big Beautiful’ SNAP cuts
The U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee released a 2026 Farm Bill draft focusing on expanding crop insurance, shifting conservation program funding, and maintaining changes to SNAP from a 2025 Republican-led spending bill. The draft lacks provisions on livestock industry standards and ethanol labeling, and faces criticism from Democrats over continued SNAP cuts.
