Experts warn the new farm bill may raise prices for farmers by using two parity formulas moved by Anderson and the 1909 14 average, while others fear shifts favor crops and growers differ on formula choice. House votes 175 to 24, Senate 40 7, Republicans from industrial districts mostly support the measure though divisions rise over mandatory commodity lists.
