Defeat Of Farm Bill Shocks Washington
The farm bill failed in a dramatic 215 to 205 House vote as Republicans largely opposed the measure. The Senate had passed a similar version, but House action appeared unlikely amid committee reservations and opposition to mandatory acreage reductions. The bill’s collapse returns policy to the 1958 act, risking continued farm surpluses and higher costs. Farm Bureau hailed the result as a victory for farmers, consumers, and taxpayers.
