“As President of the Arizona Farm Bureau, I am proud to express our strong support for the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (H.R. 7567) introduced by Chairman GT Thompson. This critical piece of legislation represents an important step toward providing long-overdue certainty and stability for America’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

“Arizona agriculture is a $31 billion industry, a cornerstone of our state’s economy and heritage. The investments and policies outlined in this farm bill framework will help ensure the viability of family farms, strengthen vital food and fiber supply chains, and safeguard our national food security. A robust, modern farm bill is essential not only to support producers through today’s challenges, but also to protect the long-term sustainability of U.S. agriculture.

“We appreciate the leadership shown by Chairman Thompson and the House Agriculture Committee in advancing this legislation and look forward to working with members of Congress as this process moves forward. The Arizona Farm Bureau stands ready to partner with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to ensure that the final bill delivers meaningful support for producers and rural communities across our state and nation.”
