The Senate Ag Committee advanced the farm bill to the full Senate floor for consideration.
The proposed legislation includes a wide range of measures designed to strengthen agriculture and improve long-term food security.
Among the key provisions is the expansion of programs focused on animal health and disease management.
The bill would make the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Program a permanent initiative.
This program helps address the challenges caused by wild hog populations, which can damage crops, spread disease, and create environmental concerns.
