Congress debates the scope of this year's farm bill

This week, Congress will again turn its attention to the farm bill. The Senate passed its version of the bill last month.

This time, it's the House Agriculture Committee that will begin considering a different draft of the bill that covers farm subsidies and nutrition programs for the poor.

Reporter Brett Neely discussed the key issues in the debate with Morning Edition host Phil Picardi.
