# Senate Budget Plan Spares Farm Bill

> The Senate Budget Committee planned to approve its fiscal 2018 budget resolution without cutting farm bill programs. The House version seeks a $10 billion cut in food stamps over a decade, and the Senate Agriculture and House Agriculture committees face a tight budget with no added funds.

## Why it matters

Keeping farm programs intact preserves the existing safety net, while the squeeze on new money limits changes to cotton, dairy and grain subsidies. The effect on grain and feed prices is limited.
