Audio: farm bill press conference

Here is the audio link to the farm bill conference press conference today. With the definitive news that President Bush will veto the bill, ag leaders will work hard to get an overwhelming vote in the Senate and the House next week.

From a statement by Speaker Pelosi:

"The bipartisan farm bill will ease the strain on rising food prices for American families, begin much-needed reforms to farm payments and make a substantial commitment to land conservation and to fruits and vegetables."
