Why is it called the Farm Bill 2.0?
Farm bills typically renew every 5 years. The 2018 Farm Bill expired in 2023 and was extended three times. H.R. 7567 is the long-awaited new comprehensive farm bill, hence “Farm Bill 2.0” as a way to distinguish from the 2018 law.
How H.R. 7567 differs from past farm bills
The 2026 farm bill is narrower than typical farm bills because the 2025 budget reconciliation law (H.R. 1) already addressed major commodity, crop insurance, and SNAP policy. H.R. 7567 addresses what reconciliation couldn’t, discretionary programs, new authorities, and provisions that don’t fit reconciliation’s budget rules.
