Farm Bill: Mixed Reports on Committee Action

According to National Journal, the House Agriculture Committee voted yesterday to reduce agricultural subsidies to farmers along the lines of what I wrote about here. There seems to be some doubt about how this is going to play out--read postings from Ken Cook and Scott Faber--but I tend to think that some movement towards reform is better than no movement. It's not clear to me that more money has been directed towards healthy eating programs or other sustainable food programs. More soon.
