(The Hill)
Divided House Republicans can't agree on a food stamp bill, dimming hopes that a farm bill conference can begin before the August recess.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) warned Friday that no one should expect action anytime soon given fights among House Republicans over how much to cut food stamps.
He said he'd told Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who leads the Senate Agriculture Committee, of the difficulty.
