The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” passed the Senate by a vote of 51-50, with Vice President Vance breaking the tie. The budget legislation, which paves the way for much of President Trump’s domestic agenda, included several priorities important to groups like the American Soybean Association. “ASA applauds the Senate for its support of U.S. agriculture,” says ASA President Caleb Ragland. “Soybean growers have long supported comprehensive revisions to the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit, an improved safety net for agriculture, and increased support for research and market expansion.” The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association also thanked the Senate for passing the legislation. “This bill protects family farmers and ranchers across the country from a massive tax hike at the end of the year, increases the death tax exemption, makes the Section 199a tax deduction permanent, as well as many other priorities,” said Ethan Lane, NCBA Senior Vice President of Government Affairs.
