Farm Bill Summit, OSU
June 27-28, 2019
Presentations by the nation’s top ag policy professionals on the 3 largest agricultural titles in the 2018 Farm Bill
Program Overview
The 2018 Farm Bill, passed by Congress and signed by President Trump, now awaits implementation by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), agencies like the Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Services, Risk Management Agency and many others. The passage of the farm bill authorizes funding for many of the federal programs producers utilize throughout the growing season. This bill is considered to be mostly evolutionary not revolutionary, but there are still changes that will be important to producers and agribusinesses.
