# Farm bill expiration impact varies | 2018-10-02 | Agri-Pulse | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

## Why it matters

The expiration has limited direct price impact because commodity supports continue, but it creates uncertainty for conservation and export promotion spending that feed buyers should watch.
