Warnock Statement on Senate Agriculture Committee Farm Bill Markup

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) released the following statement after today’s Farm Bill markup in the Senate Agriculture Committee. “Today’s Agriculture Committee markup was a missed opportunity to advance a bipartisan Farm Bill that supports farmers and families. Between the president’s tariff policy and his ongoing war in Iran, our farmers and the American people are struggling under the higher costs of everything. I have maintained for months that any deal needs to include a solution that would mitigate the disastrous cuts to SNAP that Senate Republicans enacted in their One Big Ugly Bill in July 2025 . Senate Republicans’ current proposal does not go far enough in addressing my concerns.” “I will continue to work closely with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to reach an agreement that supports Georgia’s farmers and ensures families have the resources they need to buy groceries at the end of the month. There is a path to a bipartisan deal, and I remain hopeful we can get one done.” ###
