Washington Week Ahead: House Ag explores farm program changes

Agri-Pulse previews a House Agriculture Committee week of subcommittee hearings on commodity issues and SNAP, plus a full committee hearing on the Farm Credit System. Chairman Conaway said the committee needs to examine county payment disparities.

The piece also notes the stalled GOP health care vote.
