I'm sure there's nothing more controversial than federal spending, for it or against it. The Farm Bill is the food and agricultural policy of the United States. We've had one since 1933. About every five years Congress debates the future of the Farm Bill, re-writes and/or reworks the current legislation. The current policy expires at the end September this year.

Its a, hopefully civil, debate about not only food and fiber, but also about conservation programs and spending levels and limits. The link above leads to a recent Outdoor Life article that does a great job explaining the impacts of the Farm Bill on conservation programs (which affects wildlife).

The second link leads to a summary explanation of The Farm Bill and it's history.

No matter your leanings, now is the time to make you opinions known to Congress.
 
Interesting that the guy from MN thinks crp acreage will get back to 32 million from the current 24.
 
I'm closely watching this as well. It will certainly have some impact to me for years to come.
