MILWAUKEE, April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SNAP is responsible for the majority of Farm Bill outlays. Some federal legislators would like to reallocate money from SNAP towards safety net programs for commodity farmers. New research demonstrates how SNAP itself helps farmers. SNAP increases demand for the food and commodities that farmers grow; farm commodity prices are slightly (less than 1%) higher due to SNAP. Therefore the conclusion is drawn that SNAP not only benefits U.S. households in need, it supports U.S. farmers as well.

Key Points: 
  • Some federal legislators would like to reallocate money from SNAP towards safety net programs for commodity farmers.
  • SNAP increases demand for the food and commodities that farmers grow; farm commodity prices are slightly (less than 1%) higher due to SNAP.

  • In the new article " Economywide Impacts of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program " published in the Journal of the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association, Jessica Osanya, and Jeff Reimer from Oregon State University provide SNAP skeptics with an analysis of the costs and benefits of the program in the United States.
