ARLINGTON, Va., September 1, 2026 — The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) applauded congressional passage of a continuing resolution that extends critical federal authorities, including the current U.S. Grain Standards Act, through December 11, 2026.

Maintaining these essential programs provides much-needed certainty for the grain and feed industry and helps ensure the continued, efficient inspection, movement, and marketing of U.S. agricultural products.

NGFA appreciates Congress’s bipartisan commitment to preserving these vital authorities while work continues on longer-term solutions. NGFA continues to advocate passage of the updated U.S. Grain Standards Act as included in the current Farm Bill proposals under consideration in the House of Representatives and the Senate, respectively.
