Crop Subsidy and Crop Insurance for Wyoming Farmers in a New 2013/14 Farm Bill

Vincent Smith, James Johnson and, John Hewlett (July, 2013)

Summary

Farm policy is in flux and the future of many farm subsidy programs is in question. In Congress, the Senate Agriculture Committee (and the entire Senate) and the House Agriculture Committee have recently developed alternative farm bill proposals. While the two bills include some very similar or identical proposals, they also contain some very different initiatives. Those differences would normally be resolved through a conference process within a joint House and Senate Agricultural Committee conference committee.
