House Unveils $1.5 Trillion Farm Bill, Faces Senate Hurdles

Contentious cuts to food aid and climate initiatives spark debate as lawmakers race against a September deadline.

The House Agriculture Committee's farm bill proposal aims to cut $27 billion from SNAP over 10 years.
The bill reallocates $14.4 billion from climate-friendly practices to broader conservation efforts.
Democrats argue the cuts will increase hunger and harm the agricultural sector.
Republicans emphasize the bill's bipartisan policies and long-term conservation benefits.
Congress must reconcile House and Senate versions before the current extension expires on September 30.
