This new Farm Bill framework not only modernizes key ag programs to better serve our farmers and ranchers today, but it also invests in the future of our agricultural economy. Importantly, the 2026 Farm Bill supports ag research while protecting and expanding key programs such as crop insurance, market access and USDA Rural Development.\n\nThe legislation includes investments in rural broadband; expanded rural healthcare and rural childcare access; support for new, young, beginning, and veteran farmers transitioning to farming; incentives for innovation and technology, including investments in precision agriculture; and more. I look forward to this much-needed framework moving to the Senate and ultimately reaching President Trump\u2019s desk,\u201d said Congressman Flood.\n\nTen of Congressman Flood\u2019s\u2013supported bills, including ones he signed on as a cosponsor or co-lead, were included in the 2026 Farm Bill:\n\nH.R. 575 (Baird, R-IN) \u2013 Increased TSP Access Act of 2023 \u2013 original cosponsor\n\nH.R. 1207 (Mann, R-KS) \u2013 To Transfer the Authorities of the Food for Peace Act from the U.S. Agency for International Development to the Department of Agriculture \u2013 cosponsor\n\nH.R. 5459 (Flood, R-NE) \u2013 Precision Agriculture Workforce Training and Development Act \u2013 sponsor\n\nH.R. 5468 (T.
