The Senate opened debate on an administration backed farm bill amid Midwest Democrats calling it dangerous.

Ellender and other cottonbelt Democrats back the measure which aims to ease planting allotment cuts and gives Benson power to lower price supports. The Senate worked late and plans an early session to resume the debate.
