House expected to vote on new farm bill this week
The farm bill could finally get its day in Congress this week. After two years of partisan wrangling, a bill is expected to be unveiled today and the House could vote as early as Wednesday.
MIDDLETON, WI - NOVEMBER 19: Wind turbines rise up above farmland on the outskirts of the state capital on November 19, 2013 near Middleton, Wisconsin. A bill that would make it easier for residents living near power generating wind turbines to sue for any perceived negative impacts to their health and property values goes before the Wisconsin legislature on Wednesday. Critics believe the bill (SB167) could kill the wind energy business in Wisconsin. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
