Farm measure heads to Senate after house cuts
The farm bill moves to the Senate after the House trimmed 56 million from the non-defense section of the 771 million measure. Supporters of broader cuts say the Senate will restore and possibly expand reductions, notably in rural rehabilitation and Bankhead Jones farm tenant act loan authorizations. The bill retains a prohibition on selling surplus commodities below parity, with a modified exception for relief and certain uses.
