Turning the farm bill into a food bill
June 2012
EWG worked with subsidy reform champions to support five floor amendments to the Senate farm bill. Two prevailed: an amendment by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) to make conservation compliance a condition of crop insurance and an amendment by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to reduce insurance subsidies for large farms. EWG led a broad coalition to oppose the House farm bill.
