Senate passes $428 billion farm bill, setting up fight with House over food stamps, subsidies and conservation

The Senate bill, which passed with bipartisan support, now requires reconciliation with a House measure passed last week.

The House-passed version imposed work requirements for food-stamp recipients and largely eliminated a popular conservation program. Those provisions are not included in the Senate version, setting up a struggle between House conservatives who pushed the provisions and Senate Democrats and some Republicans who oppose them.

The current law expires Sept. 30. If a new measure isn’t passed before then, some farm programs could expire or lose funding.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
