Conference assignments - Farm Bill

This is admittedly "inside the beltway" info, but here - from the House Agriculture Committee - are section assignments for House conferees on the farm bill:

Several of you have asked for the section assignments for the House conferees named last night. The 14 members of the Agriculture Committee named to the conference will participate in all aspects of the conference meetings. The other 35 Members named to the conference will only participate in the specific areas of jurisdiction their committees are involved in. As the conferees were named last night, they were assigned specific sections of the farm bill that they will be involved with.
