The legislation was approved on a 63-30 vote.\u00a0\r\n\u201cToday is a victory for farmers, ranchers, sound science, and anyone who eats on a budget,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cGetting to an agreement wasn\u2019t easy, but today\u2019s strong showing in the Senate is a result of the way we get things done in the Agriculture Committee \u2013 with hard work and bipartisanship. I thank Ranking Member Stabenow for her continued partnership.\u201d\r\n\u201cTonight\u2019s vote is the most important vote for agriculture in the last 20 years. We worked hard to ensure the marketplace works for everyone. I mean\u00a0everyone.
