Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, along with 16 other Republican Governors across the United States, signed a letter urging the U.S. congressional leadership to pass a new federal farm bill, following the expiration of the previous iteration on September 30, 2024.
The federal bill was last passed in 2018 and then had its lifetime extended to the 2024 deadline following the failure of a new farm bill to be passed in 2023; something that is seen as irregular with a new bill being traditionally passed by Congress every five years.
