Senate Agriculture Committee Holds Hearing on Boosting US-Grown Farm Products
Published March 13, 2026
Earlier this week, the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry held a hearing focused on strengthening domestic demand for U.S.-grown agricultural products. Witnesses included American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall and several other agricultural leaders.
In his written testimony, Duvall emphasized that expanding domestic markets could provide greater stability for producers, particularly as global trade disruptions continue to create new costs and uncertainties for the agricultural industry.
The hearing covered a range of issues impacting U.S. agriculture, including the farm bill, agricultural research, year-round E15 fuel access, conservation programs and additional policies affecting producers and rural communities.
