farm bills
Crop subsidy laws
Farm bills are comprehensive legislation governing U.S. agricultural policy, typically renewed every five years.
They cover far more than farming—food stamps, crop insurance, conservation programs, and rural development all fall under the farm bill umbrella.
Congress is debating the new farm bill.
The bills represent massive spending packages and generate fierce lobbying from agricultural and nutrition interests alike.
