Wyoming Stockgrowers http://wyomingpublicradio.net en Mixed feelings in WY about extended federal Farm Bill http://wyomingpublicradio.net/post/mixed-feelings-wy-about-extended-federal-farm-bill <p>The farm bill that has&nbsp;been in place&nbsp;for the last five years will be extended at least another nine months as part of a last minute provision under congress’s fiscal cliff package. Instead of a new five-year bill, certain aspects of the old bill will continue until September, like direct subsidies and the food assistance program, SNAP. The extension also offers assistance, including retroactively to last September, for certain programs many Wyomingites hold dear.
