Kansans split on farm bill amid direct payment cuts
Kansas lawmakers largely backed the expansive farm bill as Republicans warned of harm from $313 million in direct payment reductions and $5.7 billion cut from crop insurance. The measure, worth about $290 billion, passed 318-106 in the House and faces veto-proof margins in the Senate. The bill funds nutrition programs, subsidies, and conservation while easing recovery aid for Greensburg tornado damage.
