Farm Bill #3: Philip Brasher’s guide

If you want to get serious about understanding farm bill issues, spend some time (you will need it) with Philip Brasher’s posts at Agri-Pulse (I’ve written about these previously, but here’s the complete set):

  • Lesson #1: Every farm bill is unique – the last one was a doozy
  • Lesson #2: The Farm Bill ‘Math’ is complicated and ever-changing
  • Lesson #3: Regional divides make writing a farm bill more of a gamble
  • Lesson #4: Linking farm, food programs is crucial to farm bill passage
  • Lesson #5: Coalitions key for conservation, crop insurance and farm program success
  • Lesson #6: An unsung farm bill hero, rural development needs more champions
  • Lesson #7: Farm Bill supporters challenged to focus on the long-game of science
