=====Watch for Next Action Alert=====

UPDATE 6/10/13:

The U.S. Senate passed the Farm Bill (S.954) on Monday evening, June 10. Having failed to reach an agreement on what amendments to debate, the Senators left over 200 amendments on the table without a vote, including those listed in the petition.

The next step will be for the House of Representatives to take up its version of the Farm Bill. This could happen as early as next week. Stay tuned for news on what amendments are introduced and ways to get involved.
