"The five-year farm legislation awaits action in the Senate, where a debate on pesticide liability may play out again."

"The House approved a five-year farm bill Thursday after stripping the legislation of liability protections for pesticide manufacturers.

The 224-200 vote sets the stage for followup action by the Senate, where the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee has yet to introduce its own version of the critical measure for food, farming and rural development.

Fourteen Democrats voted for the bill, H.R. 7567. Three Republicans opposed it — Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming and Andrew Garbarino of New York."
