U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) today expressed appreciation for the reopening of the federal government, following passage of a continuing resolution that funds the federal government through January 31, 2026, and extends key agricultural provisions.
“USW welcomes the reopening of the U.S. federal government, especially the passage of a full agricultural appropriations bill,” said Mike Spier, USW president and CEO. “We are grateful for the commitment to funding agricultural programs that are essential for supporting U.S. wheat farmers.”
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the continuing resolution on Wednesday, November 12, after the U.S. Senate approved it on Monday, November 9. President Donald J. Trump signed the measure into law on Wednesday night.
The legislation that reopened the federal government also delivered full appropriations for agriculture for fiscal year 2026, including funding USDA operations and reports. The bill extended farm bill programs left out of earlier budget reconciliation for one year, through September 30, 2026.
