Conference Committee
deliberative
contentious
compromised
The Conference Committee negotiates farm bill provisions between House and Senate versions. In discussions on subsidies, it sought to raise payment limits for small farms but deadlocked on defining 'small.' Josh argues their eventual compromise generated legal work for big farm corporations' lawyers rather than aiding small operators. Toby contributed to these efforts alongside the committee.
