  • House-Senate Negotiators Announce Bipartisan Agreement on Final Farm Bill
    House-Senate Negotiators Announce Bipartisan Agreement on Final Farm Bill Bill Reforms Agricultural Policy, Reduces Deficit, Grows Economy Jan 27, 2014 Issues: Farm Bill MEDIA CONTACT: Tamara Hinton, 202.225.0184 [email protected] WASHINGTON – House and Senate agriculture leaders today announced a bipartisan, bicameral agreement on a five-year farm bill that will reduce the deficit, grow the economy and provide certainty to the 16 million Americans whose jobs depend on agriculture. The Agricultural Act of 2014 contains major reforms, including eliminating the direct payments program, streamlining and consolidating numerous programs to improve their effectiveness and reduce duplication, and cutting down on program misuse. The bill also strengthens our nation's commitment to support farmers and ranchers affected by natural disasters or significant economic losses; and renews a national commitment to protect land, water, and other natural resources. "I am proud of our efforts to finish a farm bill conference report with significant savings and reforms," said Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. "We are putting in place sound policy that is good for farmers, ranchers, consumers, and those who have hit difficult times. I appreciate the work of everyone who helped in this process. We never lost sight of the goal, we never wavered in our commitment to enacting a five-year, comprehensive farm bill. I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting its passage." "Today's bipartisan agreement puts us on the verge of enacting a five-year Farm Bill that saves taxpayers billions, eliminates unnecessary subsidies, creates a more effective farm safety-net and helps farmers and businesses create jobs," said Sen.

  • Table Egg Production and Hen Welfare: Agreement and Legislative Proposals
    Table Egg Production and Hen Welfare: Agreement and Legislative Proposals Joel L. Greene Analyst in Agricultural Policy Tadlock Cowan Analyst in Natural Resources and Rural Development February 14, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42534 Table Egg Production and Hen Welfare: Agreement and Legislative Proposals Summary The United Egg Producers (UEP), the largest group representing egg producers, and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the largest animal protection group, have been adversaries for many years over the use of conventional cages in table egg production. In July 2011, the animal agriculture community was stunned when the UEP and HSUS announced that they had agreed to work together to push for federal legislation to regulate how U.S. table eggs are produced. The agreement between UEP and HSUS called for federal legislation that would set cage sizes, establish labeling requirements, and regulate other production practices. As part of the agreement, HSUS agreed to immediately suspend state-level ballot initiative efforts in Oregon and Washington. On April 25, 2013, the Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2013 (S. 820 and H.R. 1731) were introduced in the 113th Congress. The bills are nearly identical to the legislation that was introduced during the 112th Congress (S. 3239 and H.R. 3798). The provisions in S. 820 and H.R. 1731 reflect the 2011 agreement between UEP and HSUS to establish uniform, national cage size requirements for table egg-laying hens. The bills would codify national standards for laying-hen housing over a 15- to 16-year phase-in period, including labeling requirements to disclose how eggs are produced, and set air quality, molting, and euthanasia standards for laying hens.

  • The Agricultural Act of 2014
    The Agricultural Act of 2014 On February 7, President Obama signed the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill) into law. The signing marks an end to the multi-year and multi-bill process for reauthorizing the 2008 Farm Bill, which initially expired September 2012, and was then extended until September 2013. The bill passed the House 251-166 on January 29, while the Senate approved it 68-32 on February 4. Overall, the 2014 Farm Bill extends most of the major federal farm and nutrition assistance programs through FY 2018, at a cost of $956 billion over 10 years according to the Congressional Budget Office. In particular, $756 billion, or 79 percent, would be for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The legislation is expected to reduce the deficit by $23 billion dollars. These savings are the result of $33 billion in reductions to certain programs combined with $10 billion in funding increases in other areas. Of the $33 billion in savings, $19 billion comes from reductions in farm programs, including ending direct payments to farmers, $6 billion from conservation programs and $8 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The $10 billion in increased funding is targeted towards crop insurance, research, export promotion, specialty crop support, rural development, and other areas. The $956 billion is classified as mandatory spending, and will not require annual appropriation by Congress. While the bill totals over 950 pages, below is a short analysis of many of the major, and a few of the minor issues and changes. Please contact Ben Husch (202-624-7779) if you need additional information on any of the topics covered below.

  • Hemp As an Agricultural Commodity
    Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Renée Johnson Specialist in Agricultural Policy June 22, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32725 Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Summary Industrial hemp is an agricultural commodity that is cultivated for use in the production of a wide range of products, including foods and beverages, cosmetics and personal care products, nutritional supplements, fabrics and textiles, yarns and spun fibers, paper, construction and insulation materials, and other manufactured goods. Hemp can be grown as a fiber, seed, or other dual-purpose crop. However, hemp is also from the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa, as marijuana. As a result, production in the United States is restricted due to hemp’s association with marijuana, and the U.S. market is largely dependent on imports, both as finished hemp-containing products and as ingredients for use in further processing (mostly from Canada and China). Current industry estimates report U.S. hemp product sales at nearly $700 million annually. In the early 1990s there was a sustained resurgence of interest to allow for commercial hemp cultivation in the United States. Several states conducted economic or market studies and initiated or enacted legislation to expand state-level resources and production. Congress made significant changes to federal policies regarding hemp in the 2014 farm bill (Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79, §7606). The 2014 farm bill provided that certain research institutions and state departments of agriculture may grow hemp under an agricultural pilot program. The bill further established a statutory definition for industrial hemp as “the plant Cannabis sativa L.
