# Farm Bill Expiration Leaves Rural Programs In Uncertainty – CONVEN.ORG | HOME

> The 2018 Farm Bill's latest extension expired September 30, leaving Congress without a new long-term agriculture policy. Crop insurance and SNAP continue, while some conservation, research, rural development, trade and energy programs face funding uncertainty; commodity and dairy support measures are set to expire December 31.

## Why it matters

Lapsing programs add policy uncertainty for US producers, but USDA can keep programs running administratively through year-end, so near-term supply and price effects are limited.
