Farm bill highlights show shifts in direct payments and savings
The Senate farm bill ends direct payments of about 5 billion dollars annually and replaces them with a shadow loss system aimed at giving farmers more payment options. It trims and consolidates programs to save roughly 6 billion, raises nutrition eligibility to save 4 billion, strengthens crop insurance while cutting redundancies to save 15 billion, and eliminates or streamlines 1 billion in rural development, 770 million in rural development, and 20 million in forestry programs.
