Farm Bill Rural Development Programs Running on Third Extension
Rural development programs under the US Farm Bill are currently operating under a third temporary extension of the 2018 farm bill, after Congress has repeatedly failed to pass new farm legislation. The lapse leaves funding and program authority for rural development in continued limbo, and agricultural policy observers are voicing frustration at the ongoing delays in Washington.
Why now: Congress's repeated failure to pass a new Farm Bill has left rural programs in limbo, drawing attention to the dysfunction in agricultural policymaking.
