More than 30 senators signed a letter Thursday urging their colleagues to consider rolling the farm bill into a potential fiscal cliff package.
Led by Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and John Hoeven, R-N.D., the group of 33 senators stressed that their senate-passed farm bill provides $23 billion in deficit reduction "while making smart, common-sense reforms that ensure the farm safety net works for both the American taxpayer and the American agricultural producer."
