Farm Bill Primer: Budget Dynamics (CRS IF12233)

CRS estimates that the 2026 baseline for all farm bill titles is $1.374 trillion over 10 years (FY2027-FY2036)

Table 1 gives the February 2026 baseline by title for FY2027 to FY2036, in millions: Commodities 142,625; Conservation 73,004; Trade 8,280; Nutrition 985,379; Research 3,510; Energy 535; Horticulture 2,440; Crop Insurance 155,539; Miscellaneous 2,248; total 1,373,560. Comparison with the January 2025 table shows nutrition down about $132.0 billion and commodities up about $75.1 billion; CRS says the changes reflect both reconciliation and new economic conditions.
