“This government funding bill was an opportunity for Republicans to deliver on their promise to expand domestic markets for family farmers and provide additional farm and family relief to address Trump’s affordability crisis. Instead, they continue to pick winners and losers. They turned their back on family farmers and hardworking people across our country by refusing to pass commonsense, bipartisan policies that would provide relief to everyone – farmers and working people – being squeezed by the president’s tariffs and backward policies. 

“The Republicans’ government funding bill does not include additional farm aid that farmers urgently need; it rejects year-round E15; and it leaves food assistance hanging by a thread and our states facing down a looming budget crisis due to the unfunded mandates in the so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ Today’s vote was a chance to address rising costs, support American families and create domestic market opportunities for our farmers. Family farmers continue to get screwed by this administration. It's time to call it what it is.”
