Senate invokes cloture of farm bill

The Senate invoked cloture on the farm bill conference report this evening. The vote was 72-22.

Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said during concluding remarks that she had enjoyed working with ranking member Thad Cochran, R-Miss.

Stabenow said they had a mutual administration of music, especially the blues, which “sometimes we were singing during the process.”

The vote on final passage is expected to be at about 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
