with republican senator chuck grassley about if that scenario can be avoided. >> senator, start with the status of the farm bill. are you going to get an actual farm bill passed before you guys leave town, which i think is now eight days from now? >> i'm going to fight for a five-year farm bill because farmers in this country need long-term view. you make long-term plans. not just from month to month or year to year. now if we don't get that, we ought to at least have a one-year extension of the existing farm bill. but what i think you know, we can't go back to the 1949 farm bill. that's too bureaucratic and it's not the way agriculture is in the 21st century. >> i know this is being caught up in some politics inside the republican party, particularly on the house side. what's your message to some house republicans that don't like, that are upset about the food stamp thing?
