Split food stamps out of the farm bill
What the document says“Separate the agricultural provisions of the farm bill from the nutrition provisions.”
The chapter says agricultural programs should be considered in legislation distinct from food stamps and the nutrition title, on separate reauthorisation timelines, and that the two have been combined for political reasons which proponents readily admit.
What the document actually says“Separate the agricultural provisions of the farm bill from the nutrition provisions.”
Take the food stamp part out of the farm law. Vote on the two apart.
One big law covers both farming and food stamps. They are voted on together. The book says that is a political trick. It wants them split.
