Senators have been through a long period of negotiations, but it now appears that they will debate the farm bill this week.
Each party is allowed 20 amendments to the bill. And neither party is required to make the amendments relevant to the farm bill.
Some amendments will be related to the farm bill, including
* Elimination of the agriculture disaster fund,
* A ban on subsidies for those who earn less than two-thirds of their income from farming, and
* Cuts in federal crop insurance spending.
Contact your senators to express your view of the bill. You can find out how to contact them here.
