Congress approves new 5-year farm bill
Bill Curtis By: Bill Curtis
5:24 PM Friday, May 16th, 2008

President Bush now has ten legislative days to act on the bill, and Farm Bureau representatives remain hopeful the president will sign the bill. A California Farm Bureau spokeswoman says the bill will include funding for nutrition, trade and conservation programs.
