# Farm Bill Primer: The Farm Safety Net - EveryCRSReport.com

> The Congressional Research Service published a primer describing the US federal farm safety net. It covers three components: farm commodity programs, subsidized multiple-peril crop insurance, and disaster assistance. The primer notes that the 2014 farm bill revised these programs and that the next farm bill is due in 2018.

## Why it matters

This is background on the policy framework that shapes farmers' risk management and planting decisions. It does not introduce a new change that would move feed-grain prices on its own.
