Congress has been active in establishing federal policy for the
agricultural sector on an ongoing basis since the 1930s. Over the
years, as economic conditions and technology have evolved, Congress
has regularly revisited agricultural policy through periodic farm
legislation. Over these decades, the breadth of policy areas
addressed through such farm bills has expanded beyond providing
support for a limited number of agricultural commodities to include
establishing programs and policies that address a spectrum of
related areas, such as agricultural conservation, credit, rural
development, domestic nutrition assistance, trade and international
food aid, organic agriculture, and support for beginning and
veteran farmers and ranchers, among others.Congress sets national
food and agriculture policy through periodic omnibus farm bills.
The 115th Congress has the opportunity to establish the future
direction of farm and food policy because many of the provisions in
the current farm bill expire in 2018. Chapter 1 provides a
title-by-title summary of the policies and provisions in H.R. 2 and
compares them with current law.The Trump Administration released
its first full budget request on 23 May 2017. It proposes specific
amounts for the FY2018 Agriculture appropriation as well as
legislative changes to various mandatory spending programs,
including those in the farm bill. Chapter 2 separates the
Presidents budget request into proposed changes for agriculture
based on congressional jurisdiction.Over time, farm bills have
tended to become more complicated and politically sensitive. As a
result, the timeline for reauthorization has become less certain.
Chapter 3 reports on the budget issues shaping the 2018 farm bill
while chapter 4 examines the major legislative milestones for the
last 12 farm bills covering 54 years.Three farm bills have
contained an energy title: the 2002 farm bill, the 2008 farm bill,
and the 2014 farm bill. For all three farm bills, the major energy
programs expire and lack baseline funding. Chapter 5 presents data
on 2014 farm bill budgetary authority for energy provisions, as
well as the original budget authority for Title IX programs under
the previous 2008 farm bill.The timing and consequences of
expiration vary by program across the breadth of the farm bill.
There are two principal expiration dates: September 30 and December
31. Chapter 6 reports on the possible consequences of expiration
including minimal disruption (if the program is able to be
continued via appropriations), ceasing new activity (if its
authorization to use mandatory funding expires), or reverting to
permanent laws enacted decades ago (for the farm commodity
programs).
