The
Farm Bill
"While
it is easy to think of the farm bill today almost solely in
terms of price supports for farmers, one of its primary intentions
has been to encourage land conservation. However, since the
1996 Farm Bill, conservation spending as a percentage of direct
aid to farmers has dropped from 26 percent in 1996 and 1997
to 6 percent in 2000."
