Cochran draws up farm bill to let farmers grow any crop
Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran unveils a farm bill proposal allowing farmers to switch crops yearly on land used for program crops, while paying on 75 percent of acres and freezing target prices at 1990 levels. It preserves support for cotton, corn, rice, soybeans, and other oilseeds and extends marketing loans to corn and wheat, aiming to cut $5.7 billion over seven years.

FDA proposes sweeping limits on teen tobacco use ads
The plan would require 18plus proof at point of sale, ban vending machines, self service displays, mail orders and free samples, fund a 150 million annual anti teen tobacco education campaign, and restrict promotions. If teen smoking isn’t halved in seven years, the FDA will tighten rules. Firms sue, claiming overreach.
