Implementation (of FArm Bill)

I've commented on how long it takes to implement programs. Of course, USDA does much better. :-) (not really, I'm doing an oranges and apples comparison). Here's their report on implementing the 2008 farm bill. It makes a difference whether you're implementing a brand new program, or just an iteration of a program you've implemented before. It also makes a difference if the agency is used to implementing new programs.
