Washington news reports the Senate approved a conference committee compromise on the Farm Security Administration program. It sends the bill back to conferees for finalizing differences with the House over soil conservation payments and crop insurance. The vote was 49 to 10 for continuing wheat and cotton crop insurance and 9 to 2 against House limits on using 400 million dollars for soil conservation payments.

The compromise covers FSA administrative funds for rural rehabilitation loans and 60 million dollars borrowing authority for new rehabilitation loans.
