Congress has a limited window before the lame-duck session ends in early January to delay the first-ever SNAP cost-share requirement for states with high payment error rates. Lawmakers say a farm bill is a top priority, but the Senate has stalled over how long states should get before paying part of SNAP benefit costs.
A farm bill failure would leave US farm programs and crop insurance on short-term extensions, adding uncertainty for producers facing high input costs. The direct effect on feed commodity prices is limited.
