Farm Bill Debate Shapes Farm Subsidy Limits
The House split on subsidy caps amid a broader farm policy fight. Democrats back the Administration’s approach while Republicans oppose. Debate centered on setting a $20,000 annual payment limit and a national food bank proposal backed by $1.5 billion in grain stock. The current cap under the 1970 Agriculture Act remains $55,000 per crop, totaling up to $165,060 for a farmer growing cotton, wheat, and feed grains.

Aid bill fights over foreign aid and Ecuador funding
The House waived objections to a foreign aid bill while fighting over the war amendment and authorization. A voice vote removed 15.5 million for Ecuador as House leaders added 150 million for the Inter-American Development Bank amid broader aid clashes. The Peace Corps received 8 million more, and a plan to pull Pearl Corps from Chile was rejected. Fraser’s bid to restore 50 million to a UN program failed, with Pagliani noting a 243 million UN surplus.
