In a survey conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation, overwhelming support for a farm bill was revealed.  Almost three-quarters of respondents regard nutrition programs and risk management as major considerations.  The survey predictably demonstrated that 86 percent of adult respondents are concerned over food inflation.  A safe and abundant food supply is regarded as a national security issue prompted in part by the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.

A significant finding from the survey was that 89 percent of adults trust farmers, although many of the respondents are unable to differentiate small family farms from large corporate production enterprises that are inherently efficient providing food products at optimal cost.
