This bill was a missed opportunity for serious reforms of agricultural subsidy programs that have inflated the prices of farmland and made it more difficult for the next generation of farmers. It was also a missed opportunity to strengthen food assistance programs in a manner that helps able-bodied adults without dependents find work.
