Talk:United States farm bill

Out of date as of Dec 2018, when the 2018 Farm Bill Passed
https://www.farmers.gov/farmbill Notably, this marked the removal of Hemp from Schedule 1, I believe. --67.79.195.131 (talk) 21:42, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

I would like to see more about the debate mentioned at the end of the article, but am not knowledgeable on this subject and therefore cannot add much myself.

The first external link doesn't seem to work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.154.134 (talk) 05:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Needs a section on the relationship between the farm bill and the U.S. obesity epidemic
Crop insurance's role in artificially depressing the price of corn, and the ways in which that warps food prices and production in the United States, ultimately resulting in a glut of cheap foodstuffs that correlates with increased rates of obesity among the poor needs to be mentioned in the article, otherwise the article is a fluff piece. (Rather like the subsidized foodstuffs themselves.) -96.26.108.183 (talk) 15:33, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Coming up soon and CRS report
As this article notes, this is coming up for renewal soon. I've done some looking into it in the past but I'm not sure I have an edit handy; see The 2013 Farm Bill: A Comparison of the Senate-Reported Bill (S. 954) and House-Reported Bill (H.R. 1947) with Current Law for a recent overview.

 * I've written a fairly basic article on the new Senate version and posted it to the mainspace. (I'm part of a project on American legislation).  I'd love any comments or additions you want to make to it.  This CRS report looks like a great source.  Thanks! HistoricMN44 (talk) 15:58, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Adding history sections
I just wanted to leave a quick talk page note to let other editors know that I added two sections to this article on the history of farm bills. While I occasionally request updates to articles when I have a conflict of interest or have used sources written by my employer, The Heritage Foundation, I have gone ahead and added these sections myself. I have used only independent sources to write these sections and because these sections are on the history of farm bills I believe the information is neutral. Thanks!

 * They seem good to me - thanks. The article definitely need(ed/s) more info.  Hopefully a history nerd with some good books will come along and add more.  Farm bills are (obviously) an important part of the US federal government. HistoricMN44 (talk) 20:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

reliable sources
I added the two Zulauf cites to RS after reading them and no outside spam group is involved. Rjensen (talk) 10:46, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * That's not all you did. You also restored bare external links to advocacy sites (e.g. "Farm Policy facts", a site of no evident authority). But the biggest problem is that you decided this is a reliable author so you included citations primary sourced research. That's not what we're supposed to do. Guy (Help!) 11:09, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Contradictions in article with whether some bills are farm bills or not
The body of the article clearly calls "farm bills" some of the bills mentioned under the "Non-farm bill agriculture legislation" heading. Although the CRS report cited apparently draws some distinction between which are actual farm bills, other source don't seem to agree (see http://nationalaglawcenter.org/farmbills/ ). The article would be more clear if these contradictions were resolved. 174.52.249.243 (talk) 17:16, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Bias
The page history shows the usual suspects. I suspect we need a major housecleaning to deal with this, possibly a NPOV noticeboard entry. Viriditas (talk) 22:41, 10 November 2023 (UTC)


 * First half of third paragraph shows extreme bias about rural/urban and political parties. The reference is from a biased source. I suggest the biased portion of this paragraph be removed. More context needs to be added for the second half of the paragraph to make sense.
