Farm bill rolling coverage

Here is farm bill coverage from The San Francisco Chronicle that describes the votes of Sens. Boxer and Feinstein as crucial to the outcome of the farm bill debate, which is expected to extend until next week.


Here is NPR coverage that talks about reform efforts on the Senate floor.

About the remarks of Acting Agriculture Secretary Chuck Conner yesterday, one reporter questioned if the White House waited too long to issue its "veto threat" but Conner objected to the notion that the White House was late in showing up to the party. It will be interesting to see what the White House includes in its position statements on farm bill programs, and specifically whether the Administration finds fault with any f/v related priorities.

This should be a wild ride over the next week or so.
