The 2018 farm bill includes provisions to support farmers through maintained crop insurance programs, investment in working-lands conservation and improved programs for specialty crops including research.
By just two votes, the House of Representatives on Thursday passed its version of the farm bill that renews protections for farmers across the country, but also includes tougher conditions for recipients of food stamps.
