House Farm Bill defeated 234-195WASHINGTON – <strong>The</strong>long battle to passage of anew five-year federal FarmBill came to a halt last Thursdaywhen the U.S. House ofRepresentatives defeated thebill 234-195. <strong>The</strong> U.S. Senatepassedthe FarmBill by a66-27marginon June10.T h eloss int h eHousewas bitterfor7th Distr i c tR e p .CollinPeterson,D-Minn.,who isthe U.S.House Agriculture Committeeranking member.Peterson made the followingstatement after the Houseof Representatives failed toapprove a new farm bill:“<strong>The</strong> farm bill failed to passthe House today (June 20) becausethe House Republicanscould not control the extremeright wing of their party.From day one I cautioned mycolleagues that to pass a farmbill we would have to worktogether. Instead, the Houseadopted a partisan amendmentprocess, playing politicalgames with extreme policiesthat have no chance ofbecoming law.“This flies in the face ofnearly four years of bipartisanwork done by the AgricultureCommittee. I’ll continueto do everything I canto get a farm bill passed but Ihave a hard time seeingwhere we go from here.”Doug Peterson, MinnesotaFarmers Union president,said: “Minnesota FarmersUnion is disappointed that theHouse failed family farmersand consumers by not passinga farm bill.“I would like to thank RepresentativesPeterson, Kline,Walz, and Paulsen for theirsupport of rural Minnesotaand the consumers our hardworkingfamily farmers feed.MFU will continue to workhard for the interests of familyfarmers and push for thenecessary changes in the legislationto get this farm billpassed in the House.”Both U.S. Sen. AmyKlobuchar, D-Minn, and U.S.Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn,supported the Senate bill.Klobuchar said after theHouse vote: “Two years in arow the Senate passed astrong, long-term Farm Billthat is critical for producers,consumers and our entireeconomy. I have heard fromcountless Minnesota farmersand ranchers who need thesupport and certainty that thisbill provides.“I know Congressman Petersonworked hard to movethe Farm Bill forward, andthe House needs to come togetherand figure out a way toRecordU.S. Rep. CollinPetersonPolice ReportPolice were called to a domesticdisturbance on Elliott Avenueat 5:12 p.m., Wednesday. Also respondingwere several sheriff’sdeputies.At 11:35 p.m., police werecalled to a residence on Elliott Avenuefor a report of kids shootingBB guns. <strong>The</strong>y were gone whenpolice arrived.A traffic stop near Highway 212and Morningside Avenue at 11:35p.m., Wednesday, resulted in a citationfor open containers in thevehicle. <strong>The</strong> vehicle was originallystopped because of no front licenseplate and driving on thewrong side of Morningside Avenue.Police were called to two medicalemergencies on Thursdaymorning. <strong>The</strong> first was at a MorningsideAvenue residence inwhich a person fell out of bed at2:31 a.m., and police receivedpermission to forcibly enter thehome to assist. <strong>The</strong> patient wastransferred by ambulance to thehospital. <strong>The</strong> other occurred at7:33 a.m. at Grand Meadowswhere an elderly man had pneumoniaand was transported byambulance to the hospital.A Chandler Avenue resident onThursday afternoon reported topolice he found his stolen tools ...get this done so our farmershave the continuity they needto thrive and succeed.”Franken stated: “With onein five Minnesota jobs linkedto the farm economy, theHouse’s failure to pass a fiveyearFarm Bill is a huge disappointmentand a real disserviceto producers and ruralcommunities in Minnesotaand across the country.“We were able to pass astrongly bipartisan bill in theSenate, and I hope the Housewill revisit this soon so thatwe can finally pass this legislationthat is so important tothe economic future of Minnesotaand the entire nation.”*****Prior to the vote, Petersongot up in the House andspoke on June 18. Here is hisspeech:“Today, the House of Representativesfinally begins debatinga new, five year farmbill. This process has gone onlong enough and it’s time topass a bill.“<strong>The</strong> farm bill gives farmersand ranchers the necessarytools to provide Americanconsumers with thesafest, most abundant andmost affordable food supplyin the world. <strong>The</strong> bill includesfarm, conservation,trade, nutrition, credit, ruraldevelopment, research,forestry, energy and specialtycrop programs.“With roughly 16 millionAmerican jobs tied to agriculture,the farm bill is a jobsbill. <strong>The</strong> rural economy remainedstrong during our nation’sfinancial crisis and thathas continued during our recovery;this is in large partdue to agriculture. And this iswhy the farm bill is so important.Failing to pass a new,five-year farm bill could potentiallydevastate our ruraleconomy. Why would wewant to jeopardize the onepart of the economy that hasbeen, and continues to be,working?“I often tell people that theAgriculture Committee isperhaps the least partisan ofall the Committees in Congress.We listen to each other,try to understand each otherand work together in the bestinterests of our constituents.“<strong>The</strong> bill before us today isa compromise that reflectsthat tradition. It is a compromisebetween commoditiesand regions, and urban andrural members. I didn’t geteverything I wanted; ChairmanLucas didn’t get everythinghe wanted but that’show the legislative process issupposed to work.“<strong>The</strong> bill makes major reformsto farm programs. Repealingdirect payments savestaxpayers nearly $40 billiondollars and will ensure thatfarmers won’t get a governmentsubsidy for doing nothing.Instead, producers aregiven the choice between twocounter-cyclical farm safetynet programs, addressing eitherprice declines or revenuelosses, which only supportfarmers during difficulttimes. <strong>The</strong> bill also sets newincome requirements so individualmillionaires won’t receivefarm payments and itcontinues the no cost sugarprogram.“H.R. 1947 also makes significantreforms to dairy programs,the result of more thanfour years of work and compromiseby the dairy industry.<strong>The</strong> new dairy safety net willaddress the volatility in thedairy market, helping consumersby making all milkprices more stable and eliminatingthe price spikes thatare normal in today’s marketplace.“<strong>The</strong> 2008 Farm Bill wasthe first farm bill to addressthe growing demand for freshfruits and vegetables, localfoods and organics. <strong>The</strong> 2013Farm Bill continues this investmentby increasing fundingfor specialty crop blockgrants, providing support forthe Farmers Market andLocal Food Promotion Program,and authorizing thevery first organic checkoff forresearch and promotion.“We also recognize thechallenges facing many beginningfarmers by includingsupport for outreach and educationto beginning, sociallydisadvantaged and militaryveteran farmers and ranchers.<strong>The</strong> bill also streamlines andreforms current conservationprograms, better targeting resourcesto allow farmers andranchers to continue to preserveour valuable natural resources.“A lot of attention has beengiven to the bill’s cuts to nutritionprograms, more than$20 billion over ten years.Personally, I would prefer toupdate the income and assetlimits in the SNAP programso we don’t have these situationswhere bordering statesuse different eligibility requirements,but the supportwasn’t there for that.“<strong>The</strong> cuts to nutritionspending have received mostof the attention but we wereable to provide additionalsupport for TEFAP, increasefunding for the CommunityFood Projects, with a focuson low-income communitiesand provide more resourcesto help USDA’s anti-traffickingefforts.“While I think it’s ridiculousto cut hundreds of billionsof dollars, as somemembers have called for, it’salso just not realistic to refuseto cut one penny from theseprograms. I do believe thatwe can make some reasonable,responsible reforms and,at the end of the day, findsome middle ground that willallow us to complete ourwork on this bill.“I know we are going tohave a lot of amendments butit’s my opinion that in orderfor the bill to be conferenced,to be able to get a new billsigned into law before Sept.30, we need to keep this a bipartisanbill and not stray toofar from what was approvedin Committee. I know thatcompromise is rare aroundhere but it’s what is needed tofinally get a new five-yearfarm bill completed.”at another house.Police assisted Marie Thurnwith the rescue of baby racoonsin the roadway of Highway 212near Dove Avenue at 12:43 p.m.,Friday.Police were called to theAquatics Center parking lot to investigatea reported fight at 5:40p.m., Friday.Another road hazard was reportedat 7:06 p.m., Friday, whena hay bale was found in the roadwayon Diamond Avenue andHighway 212.Also by 9:32 p.m., Friday, policewere reporting that water wasrising at West 16th Street and FirAvenue.
