Farm Bill Primer: Support for Veteran Farmers and Ranchers

Abstract

The lead-up to the 2018 farm bill has seen efforts to expand support for U.S. veterans who want to become farmers and ranchers. Several farm bill programs already provide support for veteran farmers and ranchers, generally as part of programs and provisions that broadly address the needs of beginning farmers and ranchers (BFRs). Legislation introduced in the 115th Congress could provide additional support specifically for veteran farmers and ranchers.
