Rep. Ken Hechler launches a bipartisan bid to limit farm subsidies to 20 000 per crop via an agricultural appropriations amendment. Hechler notes Kern County California had 528 farms receiving at least 20 000 last year totaling 22.5 million, while no West Virginia farm reached that level. Hechler recalls past failed attempts and cites Senate support this session for a 20 000 ceiling.
