Senate Farm Bill Push Faces Obstacle From Administration Plans
Senate Agriculture Committee braces to markup the next Farm Bill led by Tom Daschle and Tom Harkin amid administration efforts to derail the process. Budget-minded lawmakers warn the money exists now and could vanish next year if action is delayed, while industry groups push for immediate funding. In Texas and nationwide, farm groups urge leadership to press ahead and lock in current funding levels. Meanwhile High Plains cotton prospects improve as harvest activity rises, with 80 percent of bales graded Color 21 or better and staple around 33.6 inches, signaling a potentially top quality year.
