The Farm Bill is among our most important federal policies for wildlife conservation. This expansive legislation governs many aspects of our nation’s production of food and fiber, from farm income and crop insurance to nutrition programs and rural development. But Farm Bill programs are also essential for wildlife that depend on private land. The Farm Bill is up for renewal this year, and Defenders of Wildlife is working with Congress to ensure that the bill’s working lands and agricultural support programs also equitably provide for productive and resilient wildlife habitat on private land.
