On April 30, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 2026 Farm Bill, H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food and National Security Act of 2026, a top priority for Associated Equipment Distributors (AED).
"The farm economy is the backbone of our nation and equipment dealers are essential partners in ensuring America's agriculture sector thrives," said Brian P. McGuire, AED's president and CEO. "AED applauds the U.S. House of Representatives bipartisan passage of the Farm, Food and National Security Act, and we look forward to working with the Senate to pass a farm bill and provide much needed certainty, support and stability to farmers, ranchers and rural America."
While multiple provisions to codify the sale of year-round E15 were proposed, they were not included in the House passed Farm Bill or passed as standalone legislation, due to concerns from independent refineries. AED continues to urge Congress to expeditiously pass legislation permitting the sale of year-round E15. The House is expected to consider E15 legislation in May.
