The House Education and Labor committee will mark up and most likely pass the school lunch bill today. The markup is scheduled for 2pm Eastern Time and you can view it live here. Once they've passed the bill out of committee, the next step will be the House floor.

UPDATE: The markup will be live-tweeted @edlabordems using the hash-tag #CNR (which stands for Child Nutrition Reauthorization)

UPDATE: The markup will finish today but the vote might be tomorrow.

I've read a lot about derivatives and ag speculation harming farmers. But there's also the issue of farmers needing access to credit.
