The Fight Over The Farm Bill : The NPR Politics Podcast The Farm Bill is a sweeping legislative package that funds an array of programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — formerly known as food stamps. Internal Republican disagreements have some watchers worried the new package might not get over the finish line before funding runs out.

Correction - Feb. 15, 2023:
The audio of this story suggests that the Farm Bill is the source of funding for the Women, Infants and Children nutrition program and the National School Lunch Program. It is not; those programs are funded through separate legislation.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, politcal reporter Ximena Bustillo, and political correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben.
