By now, it is widely known that the Senate Ag Committee (SAC) passed their version of a 2013 Farm Bill on Tuesday May 14th. The SAC took only 3-4 hours to debate the base version known as the “Manager’s Amendment” as drafted by SAC Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D. Michigan) with general concurrence from the ranking minority member Thad Cochran (R. Mississippi).
