$290 Billion Farm Bill Passes House - Jesse A. Hamilton | On Background: "The House has passed its massive farm bill today, and the Senate will take a crack at it tomorrow. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who was on the committee that hashed out the differences between the two chambers, said, 'We made sure that there was a place in this bill to make important progress on renewable energy, country-of-origin labeling, and specialty crops - the fruits and vegetables that are farmed in my part of the country and are so important to healthy diets.'"
