The American agricultural industry is a crucial part of our economy. I am glad we were able to pass this five-year bill with support for farmers and savings for taxpayers.” Among reforms included in the bill, it eliminates direct payments to farmers, repeals and consolidates more than 100 government programs, and saves more than $20 billion in overall spending. ### f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
