Abstract
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has become a point of contention during negotiations over the passage of a new Farm Bill, with a version of the bill now being offered in the House of Representatives that contains no provision for the massive nutrition program. This is a move that is largely unsupported by the agricultural industry, for which SNAP has long been seen as a way to align urban interests with agriculture.
