# Farm bill advances from U.S. House panel but faces a tough row to hoe

> The House Agriculture Committee advanced the Republican farm bill 33-21 after a marathon markup, with four Democrats voting in favor. The $1.5 trillion, 942-page bill would set policy for five years, raising safety-net payments for some commodity crops and expanding disaster assistance. Democrats opposed SNAP cuts, and the bill faces a difficult path in the Senate.

## Why it matters

Committee passage advances policy that would raise commodity support and could sustain acreage, a mildly bearish long-run factor, though the final outcome is uncertain.
