United States farm bill

The United States Farm Bill is a big law that the government creates all the time to help farmers and people who grow food. It's like a giant menu full of different things the government can do to help farmers and make sure we all have enough food to eat.

Think of it like a lunch menu at school! Sometimes it's hard to decide what to eat, but there are lots of tasty things to choose from. The Farm Bill is the same way - the government has lots of options to help farmers, and they have to choose what to do each time they make a new law.

The Farm Bill has been around for a long time, since the 1930s. It's like a tradition that we do every few years. It helps farmers in different ways, like giving them money to grow certain crops, helping them with things like insurance and marketing, and even protecting the environment.

Sometimes the Farm Bill can be a little confusing because it's so big and has so many different parts. But that's okay! Just like how you might need some help to understand a big menu at a restaurant, the government has lots of people who help explain the Farm Bill to everyone who needs it.
