House of Representatives Passes Budget Reconciliation Bill

Washington, D.C. (May 22, 2025) – Today, the House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1). This legislation includes several of the National Association of Wheat Growers’ (NAWG) key farm bill and federal tax policy priorities. These provisions are designed to empower America’s wheat producers to invest in their operations, remain globally competitive, and support national food security and economic resilience.

“NAWG appreciates the House of Representatives for taking an important step forward in the reconciliation process. This legislation reflects many of the key priorities America’s wheat growers have been advocating for over the past three years related to farm bill and tax extension. As producers face high input costs, low commodity prices, and the increasing impact of extreme weather, it is vital that the improvements to the farm safety net contained in this legislation remain intact. Additionally, Congress must act this year to extend – and improve upon – the key provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017,” said Pat Clements, NAWG President.

“We urge the Senate to act swiftly and pass a bill that delivers the long-term stability and support that wheat growers need to maintain their operations and help feed families across the country. NAWG will continue working with lawmakers to ensure wheat growers’ voices are heard throughout this process.”
