House Narrowly Passes Farm Bill minus Nutrition Title
2013-07-15 21:31:00| National Hog Farmer
By P. Scott Shearer, Bockorny Group, Washington, DC The House of Representatives narrowly passed the 2013 five-year farm bill that excluded the nutrition title. This action abandoned four decades of farm bill precedent of combining farm and nutrition programs, established in 1973. As a result, the bill passed on a vote of 216-208 with 12 Republicans and all 196 Democrats voting against the bill. The bill also repeals permanent law (1949 and 1938 agricultural acts) and replaces it with the 2013 bill. This is a major concern to a number of agricultural groups because permanent law is the mechanism that has forced Congress in the past to pass a new farm bill and not revert back to the 1949 act. read more
