The House and Senate are in town again this week. The big development is House consideration of the Farm Bill--the Farm, Food and National Security Act (H.R. 7567). Later today, the House Rules Committee will be considering amendments to the measure and deciding which ones will be “deemed in order.” One of these is an amendment being spearheaded by Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-OR) which would open up the definition of “renewable biomass” in the Renewable Fuels Standard. Ultimately, H.R. 7567 will pass the House sometime later this week. Other notable developments include the House Appropriations Committee marking up the Fiscal Year 2027 Agriculture Appropriations bill on Wednesday. There are also numerous appropriations hearings this week to hear testimony from Administration officials on the President’s FY 2027 budget request. U.S. House
