Government Relations & Washington Update

January 2025

Congress Averts Government Shutdown, Extends Farm Bill
In a move to avoid a government shutdown, Congress approved a funding package on Friday that ensures the federal government remains open until March 14, 2025. The bipartisan agreement maintains funding at current levels while addressing several pressing issues. The package includes a one-year extension of the 2018 Farm Bill, preventing disruptions to agricultural programs that would have reverted to permanent law, with dairy programs among the first to face impacts. Additionally, it allocates $100 billion in disaster relief and $10 billion in assistance to farmers, reflecting the pressing needs of communities affected by natural disasters and market conditions.
