SENATE FINALLY VOTES TO CONFERENCE FARM BILL: The Senate moved to conference the farm bill via voice vote Tuesday night –– after lots of back-door wrangling over last-minute issues over many days. Next up will be the announcement of Senate conferees who will join the 47 House members already named to the committee. Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said Tuesday that nine lawmakers will serve on the panel, broken down into five Republicans and four Democrats.
