Analysis of Representative Rice Farms Under H.R. 2646 and the Continuation of the FAIR Act

Abstract

In anticipation of the new farm bill, seventeen representative rice farms from six different rice-producing states have been analyzed to compare the continuation of the FAIR Act provisions with the House proposal, H.R. 2646. Each farm was simulated assuming each policy would be in place for the next five-year period, or 2002-2006. A full description of each of the farms can be found in the Appendix.Agribusiness, Agricultural and Food Policy, Crop Production/Industries,
