US Congress Considers New Farm Bill
American agricultural producers are demanding legislative action to pass a new comprehensive farm bill. The current lack of updated legislation is creating economic instability and market volatility for farmers. This push comes seven years after the last major farm bill was implemented. The United States Congress is preparing to consider and pass a new version of the Farm Bill. The legislation is a law that covers agriculture and food assistance programs. Michael Hap of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy stated the bill sets the rules for the food and farm economies. The bill consists of 12 sections or titles. This legislation is typically reviewed and passed approximately every five years. The process is being monitored by Marketplace in New York.
