forestry. The most recent of these farm bills, the Agricultural
Act of 2014 (2014 farm bill), authorizes policies in the areas

President Donald Trump has proposed some changes, to vocal opposition.
"Agriculture leaders, including lawmakers from President
Donald Trump's Republican Party ... criticized his planned
21% cut to discretionary spending at the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), saying it could take a toll on the rural
communities that helped elect him last November," Reuters
news agency said in March. "Trump has proposed slashing the
USDA's discretionary budget by $4.7 billion to $17.9 billion
by halting funding for rural clean water initiatives and rural
business services, reducing some USDA statistical services
and cutting county-level staff."

distant second.
"The year 2016 will undoubtedly be remembered as one
of the best ever in the history of the U.S. ethanol industry,"
the association said. "Driven by unprecedented domestic use
and robust export demand, ethanol production reached record
heights. And after a lengthy battle, the Renewable Fuel StanGDUG5)6ZDV¿QDOO\SXWµEDFNRQWUDFN¶ZKHQWKH(QYLURQmental Protection Agency announced blending requirements
