Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In 2001, the U.S. Congress increased existing subsidies paid to farmers, created new subsidy programs, and increased loan deficiency payments, but it did not reduce acreage set-asides. Acreage set-asides are programs that pay farmers to not plant part of their land, aiming to reduce crop surplus and stabilize market prices.
