U.S. lawmakers are calling for more funding to support American farmers.
The House Budget Committee passed on July 16 a $95 billion budget blueprint of which $12 billion would be earmarked for the House Agriculture Committee for the fiscal period of 2027 to 2036.
The Ag Committee is now tasked with identifying how the $12 billion is spent before sending the bill back to the Budget Committee.
The Budget Committee passed the bill the same day two American Farm Bureau Federation economists outlined why economic support is needed.
