Farm Leaders Plot Broad New Farm Bill
Washington farm lawmakers bury the hatchet to craft a catch‑all farm bill. Hearings begin under Rep. Poage to study corn and feed grains, with Abernethy to tackle dairy price supports set to drop April 1. Subcommittees will also frame cotton and other commodities before Cooley seeks a unified bill. Hoeven calls it the only path to major legislation this year. Poage says Benson offers nothing new and would worsen discord.
