17?
Yeah.
I thought most of the farm bill is the funding of food stamps. Not good.
No. Farm Bill in Oregon is different. Oregon's farm bill actually set aside a big chunk of the Willamette Valley untouched for farming only. If you buy a house there, it comes with 10+ acres no less.
Hmmm, I think that's a good thing. But from the link motrhed shared, most of the funding goes to food stamps. https://files.catbox.moe/p9c611.webp
Definitely an interesting thing about the food stamp.
Yep. Seems like a job for DOGE! Cut the farm bill be 75%, keep the true advertised purpose to buoy up farmers & farmland.
Amen.
what exactly is this farm bill?
Basically, instead of farming out our food to foreign nations. It's to help farmers.
