How Farm Policy Was Caught Up in a Dramatic End to 2024

As we move into a new year, it’s important to reflect on the past year in agricultural policy. The food and farm bill, as well as appropriations, were key areas of focus in 2024 but unfortunately fell short of producing significant results.

The farm bill saw some progress with both the House and Senate introducing versions of the bill. The Senate’s detailed framework addressed important priorities such as climate, conservation, equity, labor, and nutrition. However, neither bill made it through the full legislative process, leading to another extension of the previous bill until September 2025. This means that the new Congress will need to restart the process of updating the food and farm bill.

On the appropriations front, Congress once again pushed the process into the new year. A continuing resolution was passed to fund the government at previous levels through March 2025, with an extension to the farm bill included. However, the bill did not include important funding for conservation programs, leading to last-minute drama and opposition from key figures like President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Ultimately, a compromise was reached to extend funding until March 2025 and the farm bill until September 2025.

Looking ahead to 2025, a new administration and Congress will bring fresh opportunities for progress. The 119th Congress will have important tasks to tackle, including finalizing funding levels and confirming cabinet nominees. The food and farm bill may not see significant action until later in the year, so advocates will need to find alternative ways to advance priorities around conservation, climate, equity, and more.

While 2024 was a busy year for appropriations and the farm bill, progress was limited. As we move into 2025, we hope for a fresh start and better outcomes in these critical areas of agricultural policy. Stay engaged with your representatives in Congress and the new administration to ensure your voice is heard as these important issues continue to unfold.
