“Because of the filibuster, we need 60 votes to get things passed. We have the opportunity to lose some Republicans, and we have the opportunity to lose a bunch of Democrats. We’ve got to get probably nine, ten or more to vote with us on the Farm Bill. What I’d like to do is take the things where I feel like there is support on both sides and maximize our time building a coalition with those things and get them passed. If you remember, during Reconciliation, we passed about 85% of the Farm Bill.” — Senate Ag Committee Chairman John Boozman (R-AR)
