Agricultural Act of 2014

The Agricultural Act of 2014, often called the Farm Bill, is a comprehensive piece of legislation that outlines U.S. agricultural policy for five years. It covers a range of topics, including farm subsidies, food assistance programs like SNAP (food stamps), and conservation efforts. The Act aims to support farmers by providing financial aid, promoting sustainable farming practices, and ensuring food security for low-income families. It also addresses rural development and includes provisions for crop insurance, disaster assistance, and research funding, all intended to strengthen the agricultural economy and improve the livelihoods of those in the farming sector.
