Gillibrand says difficult negotiations still going on with new Farm Bill...
There is still work to be done to get a new, five-year federal Farm Bill in place.  That from U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York... who says the current extension runs through Sept. 30.  However... the Republican-backed measure is receiving a lot of push-back from Democrats... including Gillibrand herself.  GOP Senators are supporting a plan to reduce funding for anti-hunger programs... and, increase funding for certain commodities.  Gillibrand says she opposes those moves because it invests millions of dollars more in those areas that really don't need them... while fruits and vegetables are being cut or not getting more.  Gillibrand adds that programs like the Supplimental Nutrition Assistance Program... also known as SNAP... are severely cut.  She says school lunch and Summer meals won't be funded in low-income areas.  Back in late May... the House Agriculture Committee released the draft text of the $1.5-trillion farm bill.
