Topic: REPORTS ON 2008 FARM BILL STATUS--January 2008 To Enactment

This morning, the House Committee on Agriculture posted on its web site the language of the proposed new farm bill, as agreed to by the conference committee. You can access the bill language by going to www.agriculture.house.gov and clicking on "Farm Bill Homepage" at the end of the first paragraph at the top of the home page (the paragraph that starts with the word "NEW" in red).

The Statement of Managers (the "managers" are the members of the conference committee) that usually accompanies the bill language in a conference report and explains how the conference committee resolved the differences between the House and Senate versions of the legislation is not yet available, but likely will be posted at the same place on the web site when available.

If both houses of Congress accept the conference report and (if the President vetoes the bill) override the veto, the language you see on the web site today will become law.
