OMAHA (DTN) -- The continuing partisan divisions within the House Agriculture Committee flared again as lawmakers worked through a full day of marking up the latest attempt by Congress to pass a farm bill.
And yet, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson, R-Pa., was able to advance the "Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026" early Thursday morning on a 34-17 vote with seven Democrats siding with all 27 Republicans on the committee who voted. Each side had one lawmaker missing because of family deaths. The "skinny" farm bill dealt with most of the titles that were not addressed last summer in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
