Why This Matters
The Farm and Family Relief Act helps farmers by providing financial assistance when their production costs are higher than their earnings. It also delays changes to food assistance programs to support families in need.
If you are a farmer, you could receive financial support if your crop earnings fall short of production costs.
Affects: Farmers growing crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans, as well as families relying on food assistance.
