The 2013 Farm Bill: a Comparison of the Senate-Passed (S. 954) and House-Passed (H.R The 2013 Farm Bill: A Comparison of the Senate-Passed (S. 954) and House-Passed (H.R. 2642, H.R. 3102) Bills with Current Law Ralph M. Chite, Coordinator Section Research Manager October 18, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43076 The 2013 Farm Bill: Comparison of S. 954, H.R. 2642, and H.R. 3102 with Current Law Summary Congress periodically establishes agricultural and food policy in an omnibus farm bill. The 113th Congress faces reauthorization of the current five-year farm bill (the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, P.L. 110-246), since many of its provisions expire in 2013. The 2008 farm bill originally expired in 2012, but the 112th Congress did not complete action and instead extended the law for one year (P.L. 112-240). The 2008 farm bill covers farm commodity support, horticulture, livestock, conservation, nutrition assistance, trade and international food aid, agricultural research, farm credit, rural development, bioenergy, and forestry. The Senate Agriculture Committee approved its version of an omnibus 2013 farm bill (S. 954, the Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2013) by a vote of 15-5 on May 14, 2013. The next day, the House Agriculture Committee marked up its version of the farm bill (H.R. 1947, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013) with a vote of 36-10. The Senate adopted S. 954 by a vote of 66-27 on June 10. The House considered H.R. 1947 and adopted numerous amendments, but defeated the bill on June 20 by a vote of 195-234. On July 11, the House passed a variation of the defeated bill that excluded a nutrition title but included other adopted floor amendments (H.R. 2642) by a vote of 216-208. On September 19, the House passed a stand-alone nutrition bill (H.R. 3102, the Nutrition Reform and Work Opportunity Act of 2013) by a vote of 217-210. The House subsequently adopted a resolution (H.Res. 361) that combined the texts of H.R. 2642 and H.R. 3102 into one bill (H.R. 2642) for purposes of resolving differences with the Senate. Within these bills are provisions that would reshape the structure of farm commodity support, expand crop insurance coverage, consolidate conservation programs, reauthorize and revise nutrition assistance, and extend authority to appropriate funds for many U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs through FY2018. Both the House and Senate bills would eliminate direct payments to farmers, and revise (and rename) counter-cyclical price and revenue support programs. The House bill would repeal a permanent law that has served as a fallback for the farm commodity support programs if current authorities were allowed to expire, and instead makes the farm commodity programs in H.R. 2642 the new permanent law. Both bills reauthorize various disaster assistance programs. Both the House and Senate would reauthorize the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps), though the Senate’s reauthorization is for five years and the House’s is for three years. Both bills restrict how a household’s receipt of Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) benefits can affect SNAP benefits. The House bill also would restrict categorical eligibility, repeal state performance bonuses, expand drug testing for SNAP applicants, and change several time limit and work requirements. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that if the mandatory programs of the 2008 farm bill were to continue, they would cost $973 billion over the next 10 years (FY2014- FY2023). If enacted, the Senate-passed farm bill (S. 954) would reduce this baseline by $17.9 billion (−1.8%) over 10 years. The House-passed combination of H.R. 2642 and H.R. 3102 together would reduce spending by $51.9 billion (−5.3%) over 10 years. For nutrition programs, the Senate bill’s reduction is $3.9 billion (−0.5%); the House bill’s reduction is $39.0 billion (−5.1%) over 10 years. For the agriculture-related (non-nutrition) portion of the bill, the Senate bill’s reduction is $13.9 billion (−6.7%); the House bill’s reduction is $12.9 billion (−6.2%).

Many provisions of the current farm bill (the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, P.L. 110-246) expired in 2012, but were extended for an additional year in the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-240, the fiscal cliff bill). The 112th Congress began work on a new farm bill but did not complete action before the conclusion of the Congress, requiring new bills to be introduced in the 113th Congress. The Senate Agriculture Committee reported its version of the 2013 omnibus farm bill on May 14, 2013 (S. 954, the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013), by a vote of 15-5. Floor action began during the week of May 20, 2013, and concluded

Hours after getting the initial call June 26 about a disturbance at a residence on H.A. Varnum Road, deputies caught up with Randall Pitts on Boneyard Road off CR 69, just inside Jackson County. He was sitting in the driver’s seat of his black Pontiac Sunfire, which was parked in the middle of the road. When a deputy, using a loud speaker, urged him to resolve the situation without anyone being hurt, Pitts replied: “Just let me die in peace.” Moments later, Pitts sped off, going eastbound on Boneyard Road. After driving about a mile, he came to a roadblock set up by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. Pitts stopped in the middle of the road. Deputies drew their guns and took cover. RANDALL PITTS Pitts ignored deputies as they repeatedly attempted to talk him into peacefully resolving the standoff.

  • Scientist: Don't Worry, Be Nappy
    SCIENTIST: DON'T WORRY, BE NAPPY By KATHERINE PUSHKAR December 19, 2006 -- IT'S safe to say that the nap does not have a stellar reputation. After all, who naps? Children, old people, George Costanza. When the "Seinfeld" character customized a dozing zone underneath his desk, he was the personification of laziness and indolence. But sleep scientist Sara Mednick is trying to awaken the public to a more positive perception of the daytime rest-break In her new book "Take a Nap! Change Your Life" (Workman, $12.95), she explains how regular napping can * Alleviate stress * Boost creativity * Strengthen memory. Naps, she contends, can also reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, increase productivity, improve your mood, save you money, make you look younger, help you lose weight and even pump up your sex life. "I nap under my desk regularly," she boasts over the phone from her Salk Institute office in (where else?) California. The premise is that a person can recharge with as little as a 10-minute snooze during the day by strategically scheduling naps according to one's sleep cycle. A sleep cycle lasts for about 90 to 100 minutes. After a brief Stage 1, unconsciousness begins at Stage 2; Stages 3 and 4 are deeper slumber, known as slow-wave sleep (SWS); and Stage 5 is rapid eye movement or REM sleep, when your heart rate speeds up, body temperature drops and the namesake eye-darting occurs. In her studies, Mednick found that Stage 2 sleep increases alertness and motor function skills, SWS sleep improves memory and motor skills, REM sleep inspires creativity.

  • Alternative Cleaning Methods Plus Garden, Hobby Shop and Pet Care Remedies
    ALTERNATIVE CLEANING METHODS PLUS GARDEN, HOBBY SHOP AND PET CARE REMEDIES Provided by SOLID WASTE AGENCY OF NORTHERN COOK COUNTY Many commercial household cleaners and stain removers con- tain hazardous ingredients that are corrosive, flammable, dan- gerously reactive, or can cause health problems such as respi- ratory irritation. The following alternative general purpose (homemade) clean- ing methods provide with you less-toxic or non-toxic substi- tutes. Homemade cleaning solutions work best when you prepare them fresh each time you need them. If you want to make up a small quantity to use for a few days in a row, store it in a tightly sealed glass jar out of the reach of children and pets. Use a dark glass jar or store in a closed cabinet. Remember -- to replace the cleaning power of the stronger chemical you choose not to use, you need to figure on provid- ing some additional muscle power or be willing to wait longer (for cleaners to act) or both. While a little more “elbow grease” may have to be used with some of these products, the benefits in terms of improved indoor air quality, decreased exposure to chemicals, fewer waste disposal concerns, convenience, and lower costs should make the switch an easy one to make. The alternative cleaning methods in this guide have been gathered from many different sources that identify alternatives to chemical-based commercially available cleaners. Due to the large num- ber of alternatives presented, SWANCC has not tested any of the methods, makes no representa- tion about their effectiveness or safety, and is not responsible for any damage or injury that may occur.
