Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman released a draft farm bill on Tuesday that omits some of the most politically divisive provisions in the House-passed version, setting up a potential clash between the chambers.<\/p>\n

The farm bill addresses agriculture and food assistance, but Congress has not passed a new version since 2018, opting instead to extend past legislation. This year, lawmakers hope to approve a new version that provides updates to federal programs and gives much needed support to farmers across the country.<\/p>\n

The text from Boozman, an Arkansas Republican, is meant to be a path to 60 votes.<\/p>\n

But it leaves out a key Democratic demand<\/u><\/span>. Democratic lawmakers wanted the bill to include an extension that would allow all states to prepare to take on more costs for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.<\/p>\n

Senators from corn-producing states might also take issue with the lack of a measure to allow year-round sales of E15 ethanol<\/u><\/span>. Senate Agriculture Committee staffers said an E15 measure could be included if the Environment and Public Works Committee agrees.<\/p>\n

Boozman\u2019s bill has key differences from the legislation the House passed in April<\/u><\/span>. It does not include a measure that would allow SNAP recipients to purchase rotisserie chicken using their benefits.<\/p>\n

Nor does it have the \u201cSave Our Bacon\u201d provision, which would have barred states from setting their own production standards for out-of-state meat and poultry, a priority for the National Pork Producers Council following California\u2019s Proposition 12<\/u><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Despite the notable absences of some controversial inclusions, the Senate bill shares significant common ground. Both would cap Conservation Reserve Program enrollment at 27 million acres through FY2031, and create a new Forest Conservation Easement Program to replace the Healthy Forests Reserve Program. Both reauthorize SNAP\u2019s administrative authorities through 2031 and make operational tweaks and provide new retailer inventory standards.<\/p>\n

Neither bill includes a pesticide protection clause for manufacturers, although the House version initially did before it was stripped from the bill<\/u><\/span> via amendment.<\/p>\n

The Senate Agriculture Committee has not yet scheduled a markup, but committee staffers said they hope movement will occur before the congressional break in August. The current farm bill extension expires on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n
