The Senate Agriculture Committee’s June 11, 2025, reconciliation proposal drew support from several farm and commodity organizations for selected safety-net, trade, research, dairy, and animal-health provisions. Their backing was not uniform: some groups still wanted a five-year farm bill or changes to specific details, while the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) sharply criticized the package. These were reactions to a particular proposal in June 2025—not current statements or proof that every proposed provision became law.
What proposal were the groups reacting to?
The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry released the text on June 11, 2025. The committee presented it as a combination of nutrition and farm-sector measures. Chairman John Boozman described the SNAP provisions as a way to “cut[] waste, increas[e] state accountability, and help[] recipients transition to self-sufficiency through work and training.” That was Boozman’s rationale for the proposal, not a neutral assessment of its effects.
The committee’s package addressed SNAP, farm safety-net programs, crop insurance, disaster assistance, conservation, trade promotion, research, energy, horticulture, and other rural investments. Groups responding to it focused on provisions affecting their members and sectors; their statements do not amount to a shared endorsement of the entire bill or its reconciliation process. Some statements were edited or condensed for style and clarity in the contemporaneous Successful Farming roundup.
How did the agriculture groups respond?
The organizations generally praised provisions they viewed as useful to their constituencies. The table summarizes their June 2025 positions and the qualifications or additional requests they made.
#1 Best Overall
| Organization | Provisions or benefits it highlighted | Qualification or further request |
|---|---|---|
| American Soybean Association (ASA) | Farm-bill programs and other priorities it had advocated in earlier negotiations. | President Caleb Ragland said the group still wanted Congress to pass a five-year farm bill. (June 12 statement) |
| National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) | Cattle-health and disease-preparedness measures, including the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program, National Animal Health Laboratory Network, and National Animal Vaccine and Veterinary Countermeasures Bank. | It urged the Senate to pass those provisions. Tanner Beymer, executive director of government affairs, said: “We urge the Senate to quickly pass these provisions so they can become law.” (June 11 statement) |
| National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) | Continued agricultural trade promotion and commodity-program changes, including removal of a proposed corn price floor for Price Loss Coverage (PLC). | President Kenneth Hartman Jr. said the treatment of existing base acres could be improved and noted that the group would not have chosen reconciliation as the legislative process. (June 12 statement) |
| National Cotton Council (NCC) | Safety-net improvements and investment in rural communities and farm families. | Chairman Patrick Johnson said the council would work with congressional leadership for final approval. He called the proposal “a crucial step towards ensuring fiscal responsibility and making vital investments in rural America and our farm families.” (June 12 statement) |
| National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) | President and CEO Gregg Doud highlighted Dairy Margin Coverage through 2031, required USDA dairy manufacturing cost surveys every two years, and longer-term support for trade promotion, conservation, research, and animal-health programs. | These were the federation’s descriptions of the proposal, not confirmation that each provision took effect in that form. (June 13 statement) |
| National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) | Animal-health measures, including the animal vaccine and veterinary countermeasures bank, laboratory network, disease-preparedness program, and National Veterinary Stockpile. | President Duane Stateler urged the Senate to retain them and reiterated the council’s call for a five-year farm bill and a California Proposition 12 fix. He said: “we strongly urge the Senate to keep these provisions in the final bill.” (June 11 statement) |
| National Sorghum Producers (NSP) | Extensions of PLC and Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) through 2031; ARC calculation changes; crop-insurance access and affordability; trade promotion; research; conservation; and biofuel investments. | Chair Amy France presented these as measures supporting farm stability and export opportunities. (June 12 statement and contemporaneous roundup) |
| National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) | It did not offer the supportive assessment voiced by the commodity groups above. | Policy Director Mike Lavender criticized the package as a substitute for a comprehensive farm bill and argued it left out farm loans, rural development, new market opportunities, research, and other programs. He said: “A vote for this bill is not a vote for farmers — it’s a vote to abandon them.” This is NSAC’s advocacy position, not an independently established assessment of the bill’s effects. (June 12 statement) |
| USA Rice Federation | Inclusion of many of its priorities. | USA Rice Farmers Chair LG Raun said the federation would keep working to retain those provisions in the final package. (June 12 statement) |
Where did support come with reservations?
Several organizations separated support for selected policies from support for the legislative vehicle or the package as a whole. ASA continued to seek a five-year farm bill. NCGA supported trade-promotion and commodity-program changes while raising concerns about base acres and the use of reconciliation. NPPC urged lawmakers to preserve animal-health measures but also called for a five-year farm bill and a Proposition 12 fix.
That distinction matters when reading statements that praise a bill’s provisions: backing a particular safety-net or disease-preparedness measure does not establish that an organization approved every provision, the SNAP changes, or the process used to advance the package.
What changed after the June 11 proposal?
The committee posted a later text on June 25, 2025, along with a summary of revisions from the June 11 version. The legislation then went through further Senate action: Congress.gov records Senate agreement to S.Amdt.2360 on July 1, 2025, and the resulting Public Law 119-21 is available through GovInfo.
Those later steps mean the June 11 text should be treated as a proposal at a particular point in the process. The groups’ June statements describe their reactions then; they do not show that every detail they praised survived later revisions or was enacted unchanged. The June 2025 statements also should not be presented as fresh positions from the organizations in 2026.

The statements reveal which provisions different organizations prioritized. Cattle and pork groups emphasized animal-health infrastructure and preparedness; dairy representatives pointed to dairy coverage and cost surveys; and sorghum, corn, cotton, soybean, and rice groups focused on some combination of farm safety-net programs, trade, research, conservation, or rural investment. NSAC supplied a clear opposing view, centered on what it said the package left out and its concern that reconciliation was not a substitute for a comprehensive farm bill.
They are evidence of organized stakeholder positions, not an independent accounting of who would gain or lose, how large any economic effect would be, or how final law compares with each group’s preferred policy. For those questions, the relevant text is the version in force—not a June press statement or an earlier proposal.
