ASTA Reacts to Passage of Reconciliation Bill

On July 3, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)” cleared the U.S. House of Representatives after passage in the U.S. Senate earlier that week. President Trump signed the bill into law over the holiday weekend. ASTA President and CEO Andy LaVigne issued the following statement after the bill’s passage. 

“This Bill delivers significant achievements, providing critical support for America’s farmers and ranchers. The legislation includes important provisions such as updates to the Farm Safety Net, extends the 45Z credit for clean fuel production, and makes long term investments in conservation.  

“However, there is still important work to be addressed in agricultural research, conservation, and other regulatory reforms and we urge Members of Congress to continue this forward momentum to address critical remaining regulatory and programmatic updates,” said LaVigne.
