Yeah, a farm bill probably isn’t happening this year « Hot Air

Yeah, a farm bill probably isn’t happening this year « Hot Air: "For all of the year’s high legislative drama over and high electoral hopes for finally getting a non-stopgap version of a farm bill — that longstanding marriage of convenience between our explosively growing food-stamp program and our less expensive but much more egregious crop of corporate pork known as our agricultural policy — passed, it now looks like the whole thing just ain’t gonna’ happen this year. Despite the agribusiness lobbying pressure coming in from all sides, the House and Senate conferees have yet to nail down a version that would be amenable to both of their respective legislative bodies, and with 2013′s last session just about done, they’re probably pushing the issue into next year. Again."
