'''Farm Bill''' is a phrase that refers to a multi-year, multi-commodity [[federal]] support law. It usually amends some and suspends many provisions of permanent [[law]], reauthorizes, amends, or repeals provisions of preceding temporary [[agriculture|agricultural]] acts, and puts forth new policy provisions for a limited time into the future. Beginning in 1973, [[farm]]s bills have included titles on commodity programs, trade, rural development, farm credit, conservation, agricultural research, food and nutrition programs, marketing, etc. These are referred to as omnibus farm bills.
