- 众议院法案保留食品援助计划削减条款，遭民主党及反饥饿团体批评
- 农业团体欢迎法案带来稳定性，但部分人士称其未为困境中的农民提供足够援助
- “让美国更健康 again”运动活动人士成功阻止农药诉讼豁免条款
华盛顿4月30日路透电——美国众议院周四通过了五年期农业法案的众议院版本，此前该法案删除了一项遭“让美国更健康 again”（MAHA）运动反对的条款，该条款原本会阻止针对农药制造商的部分诉讼。
众议院的通过为长期搁置的综合性立法带来进展，该法案为农业和食品援助项目提供资金，但仍需在参议院通过后才能提交至唐纳德·特朗普总统办公桌。

历来两党合作的农业法案自2023年上一届法案到期以来一直面临阻碍，参众两院的共和党和民主党就在农业补贴、食品券等条款上争执不下。
周四通过的众议院版本在很大程度上延续了上一届法案的框架，仅做了部分调整，例如保留了特朗普去年通过的《税支法案》中针对食品券计划的削减条款。
该法案以224票对200票获得通过，共和党拿下了14名民主党议员的支持票。
“越来越明显的是，农业州需要更新政策以适应当前挑战，2026年农业法案填补了这一空白，”众议院农业委员会主席格伦·“GT”·汤普森在一份声明中表示。

参议院农业委员会主席约翰·布兹曼在一份声明中表示，他将在未来几周公布参议院版本的农业法案文本。
农民处境承压
农业团体总体上对法案的通过表示欢迎，称其可为面临美国对伊朗战争导致燃油和化肥价格上涨压力的农民提供一定稳定性。
“对研究和保护措施的重要更新，以及提高贷款限额和明确州际商业规则，将帮助农民度过当前的挑战，并为他们未来发展提供工具，”美国农场局联合会主席齐皮·杜瓦尔在一份声明中说道。
但部分民主党人士认为，该法案对农民的支持力度不足。
“今天在众议院通过的所谓农业法案，丝毫没有解决高昂的投入成本、失去的市场、飙升的食品价格问题，也没有为陷入困境的家庭农民提供一分钱的经济援助，”众议院农业委员会最高民主党议员安吉·克雷格说道。
反饥饿团体批评该法案未能推翻特朗普《伟大大法案》中针对美国国家食品援助计划（SNAP）的1870亿美元削减措施。
该法案未包含部分共和党议员支持的允许全年销售高乙醇混合汽油E15的条款。众议院预计将于5月13日就单独的E15法案进行投票。
“让美国更健康 again”运动的胜利
在“让美国更健康 again”运动活动人士在投票前积极游说反对后，该法案未纳入原本会让农药公司免于部分产品安全诉讼的条款。
许多支持“让美国更健康 again”运动的人士，包括 backed 卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪，反对在粮食作物上使用农药。
周一，当农药制造商拜耳就其终止数千起指控其草甘膦除草剂致癌的诉讼的努力进行口头辩论时，数百名“让美国更健康 again”运动活动人士在最高法院举行集会。
该修正案以280票对142票获得通过，获得两党支持。
“议员们向反科学的‘让美国更健康 again’运动活动人士屈服，而非站在种植我们食物的人们一边，”拜耳支持的现代农业联盟执行董事伊丽莎白·伯恩斯-汤普森在一份声明中说道。

- House bill maintains SNAP cuts, faces criticism from Democrats and anti-hunger groups
- Farm groups welcome bill for stability, but some say it lacks aid for struggling farmers
- MAHA activists succeed in blocking pesticide lawsuit shield
WASHINGTON, April 30 (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed its version of a five-year farm bill after stripping a provision opposed by the “Make America Healthy Again” movement that would have blocked some lawsuits against pesticide makers.
The House passage shows progress for the long-stalled, sweeping legislation, which funds agricultural and food aid programs, but it will still need to pass the Senate before it can advance to President Donald Trump’s desk.

Historically bipartisan, the farm bill has faced hurdles since the prior bill expired in 2023, as Republicans and Democrats in both chambers battle over its provisions, which range from farm subsidies to food stamps.
The House version passed on Thursday extends much of the framework of the prior bill with some changes, like maintaining cuts to the food stamp program included in Trump’s tax and spending bill passed last year.
The bill passed by 224 votes to 200, with Republicans picking up 14 Democratic votes.
“It is clearer every day that farm country needs updated policy that reflects current challenges, and the 2026 farm bill fills that gap,” said House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson in a statement.

Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman said in a statement that he would release that chamber’s farm bill text in the coming weeks.
FARMERS UNDER STRAIN
Farm groups largely cheered the passage of the bill, which they said could provide some stability for farmers facing the pressures of higher fuel and fertilizer costs from the U.S. war in Iran.
“Important updates to research and conservation, as well as increased loan limits and clarity on interstate commerce, will help farmers survive today’s challenges and give them the tools to thrive in the future,” said American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall in a statement.
But some Democrats argued the bill did not go far enough for farmers.
“The so-called farm bill that passed the House today does nothing to resolve high input costs, lost markets, surging food prices or provide a single penny in economic assistance to struggling family farmers,” said Angie Craig, the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee.
Anti-hunger groups criticized the bill for failing to overturn $187 billion in cuts to SNAP passed in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
The bill did not include a provision backed by some Republican legislators to allow year-round sales of the higher-ethanol gasoline blend E15. The House is expected to vote on a standalone E15 bill on May 13.
A MAHA VICTORY
The bill also did not include a provision that would have shielded pesticide companies from some lawsuits over the safety of their products, after MAHA activists lobbied aggressively against the provision ahead of the vote.
Many supporters of MAHA, which backs Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., oppose pesticide use on food crops.
Hundreds of MAHA activists rallied at the Supreme Court on Monday as pesticide maker Bayer appeared for oral arguments in its effort to end thousands of lawsuits that allege its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer.
The amendment passed by 280 votes to 142, with bipartisan support.
“Lawmakers caved to anti-science MAHA activists instead of standing with those who grow our food,” said Elizabeth Burns-Thompson, executive director of the Bayer-backed Modern Ag Alliance, in a statement.
