“Amendment SA 3414 not agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 14 - 81. Record Vote Number: 476.”
This amendment would have cut spending on agricultural programs by 2% across the board. However, the Senate voted against it, so the original spending levels in the bill remain unchanged.
This was an attempt to reduce overall government spending by applying a flat percentage cut to many programs at once. Had it passed, it would have slightly reduced the budget for a wide range of agricultural and rural development initiatives.
This would have primarily affected the Department of Agriculture and the various research, safety, and rural development programs it manages.
