Q: "Senator, many conservatives wanted to split the 2014 farm bill into two parts, the farm programs, and food nutrition programs.  Do you think that was a good idea?  Why or why not?"

A: Jim Webb:  "In general, I really don't see the need for it. The only upside, particularly for the agricultural community, I think, would be for people in the country to understand what percentage that bill actually goes for other programs. But that can be done without splitting it in two. It's so hard to get a bill through the United States Senate that we don't need two when we can do it one, quite frankly."
