To have genuine reform and proper consideration of the issues, agricultural programs should be considered in separate legislation distinct from food stamps and the nutrition part of the farm bill, and reauthorization of such programs should be fixed on different timelines to ensure this separation.” (General Welfare, Dept. of Agriculture, Page 298)

Splitting farm bill provisions into separate categories could lead to less support for food assistance programs like SNAP and WIC. These programs are vital for low-income families, children, and seniors, providing them with basic food help. By separating these programs, it’s easier to cut their funding, which would unfairly harm those who need these services the most.
