Topic: Farm Bill

The Farm Bill, which Congress is supposed to enact every five years, governs nearly every aspect of agriculture and food – from school lunch programs to SNAP benefits to commodity payments to credit programs. The Farm Bill then gets implemented through a series of regulations issued by USDA. Farmers need to know what is in the Farm Bill, how it will affect them, and what regulations govern their operations. FLAG can:

Inform farmers and farm groups about existing Farm Bill programs
Monitor USDA rules implementing Farm Bill programs
Analyze new Farm Bill programs to determine how family farmers will be affected by any changes.
