The 2025 Farm Bill could bring a massive expansion of base acres.
At the center of it is a new base acre provision that could add up to 30 million acres across the country. Researchers say that sounds promising but warn it may not play out the same for every farm or every state.
Early analysis shows five Plains states could account for nearly 40% of the new base acres.
There are still plenty of questions about how USDA will roll it out and who really stans to gain.
With more base acres comes more spending, raising concerns about how much this will ultimately cost taxpayers.
