Mr. FINSTAD. Mr. Chair, I thank Chairman Thompson for yielding.

Mr. Chair, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.

As a fourth-generation farmer raising that fifth generation, I know firsthand that farm country has faced compounding challenges over the past several years.

I am committed to addressing these issues by passing a strong, bipartisan farm bill that is written by farmers and for farmers, by rural communities and for rural communities.

The ag title of working families tax cuts made the most significant investment in farm safety net spending since the 2002 farm bill. The 2026 farm bill builds upon those successes, and it reflects the bipartisan priorities of farmers in southern Minnesota and all across this country, delivering the strong farm policy that farmers, producers, and rural communities need and deserve.

Every American is affected by this farm bill, and this legislation responsibly addresses their needs across all 12 titles.

Mr. Chair, I encourage my colleagues to support this important piece of legislation.
