Dien Judge of the Iowa Independent wrote early this morning : “The long saga of the 2007 Farm Bill continues…with no end in sight.” The Senate adjourned late last night without any votes being taken on the farm bill. Judge reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said there would be no more roll call votes this week.
The Senate is still trying to find a way to limit amendments to the bill, while Ag Committee Chair Tom Harkin says , “Yes, we’ll have a bill before Thanksgiving.”
