Separate farm-bill agriculture titles from nutrition titles on different timelines
Mandate demands White House pressure for open farm-bill process and legislatively separating agricultural programs from SNAP/nutrition on different reauthorization timelines to end logrolling.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 10 (USDA) — Farm Bill Process: communicate necessity of transparent reform process with mark-up opportunities outside Ag Committee closed doors; separate agricultural provisions from nutrition provisions in distinct legislation on different timelines.
Undo plan
1) Keep combined farm bill only if it improves passage of bipartisan nutrition and crop supports—evaluate empirically.
2) If split, ensure nutrition reauthorization is not left to starve via procedural games.
3) Preserve open mark-ups and amendment opportunities either way.
4) Require CBO score transparency early.
5) Verify: committee process timelines and public hearing records.
