A Tale of Two Farm Bills: Cheers or Jeers for Farm Subsidy Proposals from the House and Senate?

Farm and ranch households have incomes well above the national median, and the sector is in a strong financial position as commodity prices remain high even after falling from historic levels in 2022. Still, a farm bill recently put forward by the House Committee on Agriculture would increase farm subsidies by an estimated $50–$53 billion over the next 10 years. Research by AEI’s agricultural policy scholars has demonstrated that these programs’ beneficiaries would overwhelmingly be large and financially sound producers of 17 commodities.

Join us for a discussion of the implications of farm bill proposals put forward in each chamber of Congress for economic equality, food security, and federal spending.
