摘要：The 2002 farm bill is finally complete. The conferees worked long and hard to hammer out a farm bill from the House bill (H.R. 2646 -- Farm Security Act of 2001) and the Senate bill (S. 1731 -- Agriculture, Conservation, and Rural Enhancement Act of 2002). Both bills had provisions that would have directly and indirectly impacted western agriculture; some made it through, while some did not. There are similarities between the bills, but they are most noteworthy in their differences on issues such as payment base for crops, payment limitations, and conservation spending. It is interesting now to look back on the differences between the bills and the final bill to see how the West faired.
