The Agricultural Act refers to a series of laws in the United States aimed at regulating and supporting the agricultural sector. These acts often provide financial assistance to farmers, promote crop insurance, and establish price supports for various commodities. The legislation is designed to ensure a stable food supply and protect the interests of farmers.
One of the most notable versions is the Agricultural Act of 2014, which introduced reforms to farm subsidy programs and aimed to reduce government spending. It also emphasized conservation efforts and encouraged sustainable farming practices, impacting both the economy and the environment.
