Farm Bill -- House & Senate Chairmen Agree

Jerry Hagstrom for CongressDaily reports the good news: Senate Ag Committee Chair Tom Harkin and House Ag Committee Chair Collin Peterson have come to agreement on the major sticking points of the Farm Bill.

Next steps:

1. Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus and House Ways & Means Committee Chair Barney Frank still have to agree on the offsets.
2. House and Senate conferees still need to vote on various other issues.
3. The House and the Senate will need to vote on the measure before it goes to the President.

The real question -- after all this, the President still promises to veto. Will the Congress be able to override his veto. We hope so.
