Unpassed Farm Bill leaves farmers uncertain about subsidies and 22 million SNAP recipients at risk.
The Farm Bill, essential for farmers and food assistance programs, remains unpassed as its extension expired in September. Farmers face uncertainty over subsidies, while 22 million SNAP recipients risk losing benefits. Disagreements between Democrats and Republicans, particularly over a proposed $30 billion cut to food assistance, complicate progress. Congress may consider a one-year extension in December, with hopes for a five-year bill post-election.
