Abstract: The already-slim chances of Farm Bill reauthorization in 2024 are wilting in the summer heat, facing a legislative calendar almost out of days. Congress has made no substantive progress since the House Agriculture Committee reported its bill just before Memorial Day. In June, Senator John Boozman (R-AR), the Ranking Member on the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee (Senate ANF), released a series of one-page summaries of the committee’s Republicans’ “framework” for the Farm Bill that generally traced the bill reported in the House (Senate ANF, Minority News, June 11, 2024). By late June, Senate ANF Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) called for a “Time To Get Real” on Farm Bill reauthorization (Senate ANF, Majority Blog, June 24, 2024). Finally, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released the 2024 baseline projections (CBO, June 2024). This article provides a midsummer’s review for a Farm Bill reauthorization going nowhere fast (see also, farmdoc daily, May 21, 2024; May 29, 2024; May 30, 2024; June 4, 2024; June 6, 2024; June 12, 2024; June 13, 2024; July 17, 2024).
