Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This bill creates a new business tax credit (section 45BB) to incentivize use of U.S.-produced agricultural commodities. The credit effectively provides up to 25% of a taxpayer’s domestic agricultural input costs (subject to a $100 million annual cap).
Liberals emphasize domestic jobs and supply-chain resilience
Originates in House and appeals to agricultural constituencies, but fiscal cost and lack of offsets create moderate opposition.
This bill creates a new business tax credit (section 45BB) to incentivize use of U.S.-produced agricultural commodities.
The credit effectively provides up to 25% of a taxpayer’s domestic agricultural input costs (subject to a $100 million annual cap).
Starting in 2026 the bill phases in rising domestic sourcing thresholds (50% to 85%) that, if unmet, eliminate the credit for a taxpayer.
Targeted, potentially popular with farm and manufacturing interests but large unscored fiscal exposure and trade concerns reduce enactment prospects.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberals emphasize domestic jobs and supply-chain resilience
Likely cautiously supportive: the credit promotes domestic farming, rural jobs, and supply-chain resilience.
They would worry about benefits flowing mainly to large processors and potential food price increases without safeguards.
Pragmatic but cautious: sees the bill as a targeted incentive to increase U.S. sourcing while noting implementation, fiscal cost, and trade consequences.
Would seek cost estimates, anti-fraud rules, clear definitions, and a sunset or review mechanism.
Skeptical: supports farmers but worries the credit is protectionist, distorts markets, and creates government intervention in supply chains.
Concerned about fiscal cost and corporate welfare for large food firms.
