Covering programs ranging from crop insurance for farmers to healthy food access for low-income families, from beginning farmer training to support for sustainable farming practices, the US farm bill sets the stage for our food and farm systems.

The package of legislation is passed approximately every five years. It expired at the end of last year and the current farm bill extension expires at the end of September.

Brent Habig at Two Creek Farm in Pennsylvania spoke to Farm & Country’s Rosie Starr at our Honesdale studio recently about the Farm Bill.
