The 2018 Farm Bill expired on September 30th without superseding legislation. Neither the House nor Senate Agricultural Committees have released texts of their versions of the 2023 Farm Bill. This is attributed to the wide differences between Democrat and Republican members of the respective committees. A point of contention is the intent of Senate Democrats to transfer funds from the Inflation Reduction Act to support climate change programs. Republican members wish to amend eligibility requirements for SNAP participation.
At the very earliest, the 2023 Farm Bill will not be forwarded to the White House until January 2024. This delay presumes resolution of conflicts relating to approval of departmental appropriations and other major issues facing Congress.
