National Peanut Month and Senate Farm Bill Soon
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update.
**March is National Peanut Month, a time to celebrate one of America’s favorite foods!
www.morningagclips.com reports the Georgia peanut industry kicked off the celebration this week by hosting the 2026 Georgia PB&J Day in Atlanta.
The Georgia Peanut Commission and Peanut Proud donated 10,000 jars of peanut butter to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
Peanuts and peanut butter were promoted at the event by serving grilled PB&Js, country-fried peanuts, peanut candy and more.

**Senate Ag Chair John Boozman (BOZE-man) says he plans to take up a five-year farm bill within weeks, regardless of any possible delays a similar bill may face in the House.
E & E News quoted Boozman saying “weeks, not months,” although he didn’t offer any specifics.
Bozeman did tell U.S. ag groups not to think delays were inaction, as he noted lawmakers and congressional leadership are discussing how to advance the bill.
The most recent action on the farm bill came in the House, when Ag Committee members voted 34-17 to advance a new farm bill.
**On National Ag Day, Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the launch of a national public awareness campaign to inform producers about the “Product of the USA” voluntary labeling standard that began January 1st.
The campaign is designed to increase consumer understanding of what the label means.
Rollins says American consumers want to support America by buying American, and this label will strengthen our food supply chain through transparency, fairness, and trust.
