> The New York Times reports that the reconciliation tax law will direct more than $50 billion in Congressional Budget Office-projected payments to farms enrolled in price and revenue support programs for 22 commodity crops. The law also adds 30 million acres of base eligibility, with Gaines County, Texas, projected to receive the largest increase.
