Abstract

February finds farm bill reauthorization frozen in the uncertainty of extended continuing resolutions and ongoing dysfunction in Congress (Hill and Downs, January 22, 2024; Downs and Brown, January 29, 2024; Abbott, January 28, 2024; Baethge, January 18, 2024; Weaver, January 22, 2024; Hagstrom, January 19, 2024). Challenges on the floor of the Senate and the increasingly dysfunctional House are matters of concern, but of greater concern is the complete lack of any progress by either committee; farm bill reauthorization has not stalled, it has not gotten started. This lack of progress cannot be blamed on the larger, headline distractions that have Congress careening from debt ceilings, to battles over the Speaker of the House, to funding the government through annual appropriations or continuing resolutions. Impasse at the committee level indicates a fundamental disagreement over specific policy priorities. This article initiates a series measuring farm policy from different angles in search of perspectives on the impasse.
