Could the “Big, Beautiful Bill” put the Farm Bill passage in jeopardy?

“As we continue to see crop prices falling, as we continue to see pressures from, whether it’s animal disease or crop disease or drought, we require support for our farmers, whether that’s price supports in down markets or continued research and innovation to make sure that farmers have the technology they need to sustain through hard times,” said Associate Economist Samantha Ayoub.
