The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 is landmark legislation for conservation
funding and for focusing on environmental issues. The conservation
provisions will assist farmers and ranchers in meeting environmental challenges
on their land. This legislation simplifies existing programs and creates new
programs to address high priority environmental and production goals. The 2002
Farm Bill enhances the long-term quality of our environment and conservation of our
natural resources.
