Describes farm commodity program provisions in Title I of P.L. 113-79, the Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 farm bill, to provide producer support for "covered commodities" such as wheat, corn, soybeans, rice, and peanuts for 2014-2018 crop years. Discusses policy developments in new law, including elimination of fixed direct payments and enhancement of variable payments to farmers and landowners when crop prices or revenue declines. Examines farm bill interaction with Federal crop insurance, estimated cost of the commodity programs, and implementation plans. Includes appendix presenting side-by-side comparison of policy developments in 2014 farm bill and prior law.
