House kills Republican bill to aid corn growers
The House defeated a GOP backed farm bill to aid corn growers after two days of partisan clashes. The measure would have set a 51 million acre national corn allotment and 75 percent parity price, with soil bank benefits for 15 percent of corn acreage. An amendment for feed grain subsidies without acreage controls failed, and a separate bid to guarantee 90 percent parity for most farm commodities also failed. The chamber adjourned for a cooling off period and planned Friday talks to seek a truce.
