Web Site Offers Farm Bill Comparison
Published Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 04:47 AM
If you are the type of person who likes to get into the “nuts and bolts” of a program, USDA’s Economic Research Service has released an Internet-based, side-by-side comparison of key components of the 2008 farm bill with previous farm legislation. The new web site includes new features such as an A-to-Z list of major provisions, a user's guide, and a search function.

The National Corn Growers Association welcomed this informational resource on the new law. NCGA president Ron Litterer points out that - federal legislation is often complex and cumbersome. Litterer says - having a look at how the new farm bill measures up compared to the prior law is a useful resource for growers and others.
