The Passing of the 2014 Farm Bill

Chuck Zimmerman

Here’s an interesting mini documentary of the passing of the Agricultural Act of 2014. It features the work of Rep. Frank Lucas, Agricultural Committee Chairman.

Every few years a farm bill must be passed to ensure the state of American agriculture. Farmers like Danny Davis of Oklahoma rely on the provisions granted in the legislation to maintain their farms, and Americans rely on farmers like Davis for everyday needs like food and clothing. However, with Congress more divided than ever, this nearly annual task is threatened. Rep. Frank Lucas, Agricultural Committee Chairman, put his all into creating a bipartisan solution to pass the 2014 Agricultural Act.
