Farm Bureau survey finds wide consumer support for farm bill

A recent poll by the American Farm Bureau identifies nutrition and risk management programs as priority areas for consumers in the next farm bill.

“If those programs were removed from the farm bill, we saw support drop by half.”

Kari Barbic tells Brownfield, “By and large, Americans are supportive of the farm bill, and over half of those surveyed said that they would be more inclined to support their member of congress if they voted to reauthorize the farm bill.”

Funding for ag research was also a leading priority.
