Farm Bill 101: A quick and easy guide to understanding the Farm Bill
|
The Farm Bill is a law renewed every five years that governs our federal farm, food, and conservation policy. It is very broad legislation, affecting the availability of food stamps for low-income families; the research agenda for public agricultural research; investments in food safety; economic development in rural areas; efforts to conserve our soil, rivers, and forests; and government support to the people who grow and harvest our food. Though titled a “Farm” Bill, it actually affects the lives of every American, whether they live in a rural community or big city.
