Farm Bill Reforms End Subsidies and Promote Market Transition
A sweeping farm bill ends price-based subsidies and introduces seven years of market transition payments while removing planting and idle-field controls. It faces criticism as too costly and risky for farmers, yet backers hail projected $2 billion in savings and stronger rural renewal. The bill preserves food stamps two years, protects the Everglades, keeps Conservation Reserve Program funding, and ends dairy subsidies with a phased removal of support prices. The plan also consolidates milk pricing regions from 33 to 10–14 and advances rural development and research programs.
