California senators drop support for subsidy limit
California’s Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein oppose a 275000 per farm cap in the farm bill. They argue the limit is unfair to cotton and rice farmers, urging negotiators to back off the payment cap. The House bill has no limit, and analysis shows California crops would fare worse under the Senate proposal. They still back a $2.5 million income ban on subsidies.
