      "summary": "Congress has approved legislation ( P.L. 107-171 ) reauthorizing major farm income and\ncommodity\nprice support programs through crop year 2007. This legislation includes new \"counter-cyclical\nassistance\" programs for grains, cotton, oilseeds, peanuts, and milk. The intent of counter-cyclical\nassistance is to provide more government support when farm prices and/or incomes decline, and less\nsupport when they improve. In fact, farmers have, for many years, been eligible for various forms\nof counter-cyclical assistance. At issue has been the need for, and potential impacts of, another\ncounter-cyclical program. This report will not be updated.",
