Background:
The Farm Bill: The programs funded by annual discretionary appropriations bills are initially established and governed by “authorizing” legislation developed by Congress’ authorizing committees. In the case of agriculture programs, the authorizing legislation is compiled by the House and Senate Agriculture Committees in a multiyear “farm bill.” Congress typically passes a new farm bill about every 5 years. However, the most recent farm bill was enacted in 2018 and in 2025 Congress passed a stopgap extension of the 2018 bill through September 2026. | Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-334). | CRS background on the 2018 Farm Bill
