> The House Agriculture Committee's H.R. 2, the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018, would set farm and food policy for FY2019-FY2023 and reauthorize most programs in the 2014 farm bill. The CBO estimates the bill's mandatory programs at $867 billion over ten years, roughly equal to extending current law unchanged.
