A Look At The Next Farm Bill
A 90-Minute Webinar from the Food Institute and Olsson, Frank & Weeda,
featuring John Block and Charles Stenholm

Billed as legislation to help farmers and ranchers face unforeseen risk in volatile commodity markets, Farm Bills are actually much more. They are omnibus bills dealing with multiple federal laws related to agriculture, food, and nutrition. These laws represent a compilation of federal statutes that benefit not only rural America's farmers and ranchers but all Americans in their daily lives. The numerous benefits of Farm Bills range from ensuring the security and safety of the food supply to enabling Americans to spend a lower percentage of their income on food than citizens of any other country in the world.
