Thursday Thoughts:🌾 President Allen Carter’s Thoughts on the Agricultural Act of 2026 (Farm Bill 2.0)

"New Jersey agriculture is far more diverse than just the commodities one traditionally associates with farming. Our farmers produce an incredible range of products—from fruits and vegetables to nursery and greenhouse crops, flowers, turf, dairy, livestock and so much more.

The Farm Bill provides the tools our farmers need to manage risk, invest in their operations, conserve our natural resources, support agricultural research, and keep producing the safe, affordable food our families depend on.

But its importance reaches far beyond the farm.

It helps shape the availability, affordability, and reliability of the food we buy, supports programs that protect our natural resources, strengthens rural and local economies, and helps ensure that American farmers can continue producing food here at home.

That’s why, as president of the New Jersey Farm Bureau, I believe it is vital for EVERY American to understand;

It is a FOOD bill.
It is a NUTRITION bill.
It is a CONSERVATION bill.
It is a RURAL DEVELOPMENT bill.

And ultimately, it is about the future of American agriculture.

Congress has important work ahead. We need a Farm Bill that recognizes the challenges facing farmers today, strengthens our nation’s food security, protects our ability to produce food here at home, and gives farmers the tools they need to continue doing what they do best.”
