The farm bill is the Agriculture bill. And the Agriculture bill is welfare, and farm subsidies like the dairy compact. If the House does not pass a farm bill, welfare is not funded.
The agriculture department should be slashed.
Yes, it is. BUT it is really about government control. The subsidies are generally small, the controls generally very large. My family has owned/farmed land in this county since 1889. Federal Farm Control began during the Great Depression. The whole farm program is an expensive way to stabilize farm commodity prices. It may have been well intentioned, but it a terrible bureaucracy.
Until Obozo I felt the farm program was the Fed's method of supplying cheap food to keep the masses from overthrowing the vermin in DC. Since Obozo, they plan to destroy all private farming. Just wait to see the consequences of that.

I’m an active farmer and I agree! Stop the Subsidies, sure business expense are business expenses no matter what the business is. But Subsidies for planting Nothing? Subsidies to keep Milk at an artificial price, let alone Cane Sugar?
No! If the country needs to be put on a diet to get away from Government “cheese”, then all aspects of the country do. No one should get a preferential treatment via subsidies.
By all means cut the farm bill, there is to much methane gas in Congress anyway..it must be stopped....
