Congressman Dale Strong said on Apr. 30 that he supports the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.
The bill aims to address concerns from farmers and ranchers about outdated agricultural policies and rising costs. Supporters say it will provide more stability for rural communities and modernize key programs for producers.
“Farmers and ranchers have been clear: we need a new farm bill. The Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 is grounded in the real needs of farm country and delivers the certainty and modern policy our producers deserve,” Strong said in his statement. He added, “I am proud that this bill will restore certainty and stability for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. For too long, producers in North Alabama have faced rising costs, volatile markets, and outdated policies that no longer reflect the realities of modern agriculture. This bill strengthens risk management tools for specialty crop producers, expands access to credit, and promotes precision agriculture that reflects how farming is actually done today — the kind of forward-looking, practical policy our farm families need to stay competitive.”
Strong is currently serving in Congress representing Alabama’s 5th district after replacing Mo Brooks in 2023 according to public records. He has served in Congress since 2023 following prior roles with the Alabama House of Representatives as well as Madison County Commission according to official biographies.
Strong was born in Monrovia in 1970; he is now 52 years old and lives in Huntsville according to biographical information. He graduated from Athens State University with a Bachelor’s degree.
