Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich. speaks Tuesday on Capitol Hill in Washington during the committee&#39;s hearing on the Farm Bill, officially known as the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2013. This is the third year in a row that farm-state lawmakers have tried to push the bill through; though it passed the Senate, the House declined to take up the bill last year after conservatives in that chamber objected to the bill&#39;s cost and insisted on higher cuts to food stamps.
