Agricultural Acts (U.S.)

U.S. Agricultural Acts are laws designed to support farmers and the agricultural industry. They often provide resources like subsidies, price stabilization, research funding, and marketing assistance to ensure farmers can produce food sustainably and economically. These acts aim to stabilize farm income, promote agricultural development, and address issues like trade, environmental impact, and rural development. Key examples include the Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933, which helped stabilize prices during the Great Depression, and the Farm Bill, renewed periodically, shaping farm policy by covering subsidies, conservation, and nutrition programs.
