On June 20, 2013, the U.S. House of Representativesvoted to remove the Dairy Market Stabilization Programfrom the dairy reform provisions proposed in the farm bill ona 291-135 vote.
At first, the vote seemed like a defeat for thosewho had advocated for the Dairy Security Act for more thantwo years. But then the chamber surprised most everyoneby failing to pass the broader farm bill legislation to whichdairy reforms were attached on a 234-195 vote.
