Farm-state lawmakers have kept those laws on the books so there would be incentive to pass new farm bills and avoid expiration, but the threat of outdated policies kicking in has been a headache for farmers who worry they can't depend on Congress to create new laws or extend more recent versions of the law.
Repealing those decades-old laws could mean that Congress would have little incentive to create new farm bills, however, and could make many farm programs permanent.
OMG, What an outrage! How dare they decline to use a corrupt rider combination and bring stability by moving towards permenence in agra programs!
It's just plan barbaric, I tell you! BARBARIC!!!
