Federal Farm Bill

The Federal Farm Bill is a large piece of legislation passed approximately every five years that sets policies and funding for agriculture, food programs, rural development, and conservation in the United States. It influences what crops farmers grow, food assistance programs like SNAP, and efforts to protect natural resources. The bill helps ensure a stable food supply, supports farmers, and promotes rural economic growth. Its scope is broad, impacting both farming practices and consumers, and it is debated and adjusted regularly to reflect changing priorities and economic conditions.
