House passes farm bill:
"Michigan's six House Democrats voted for final passage.
The state's nine Republicans splintered, with seven voting for it and two against it.
U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Harrison Township, called the bill a 'great example of bipartisan compromise' that would 'greatly' help sugar beet growers in her district.
In addition to Walberg and Miller, Republicans voting for the bill were Dave Camp of Midland; Fred Upton of St. Joseph; Mike Rogers of Brighton; Thad McCotter of Livonia and Pete Hoekstra of Holland.
In addition to Knollenberg, Republican Vern Ehlers of Grand Rapids voted against it.
Michigan's senators -- Carl Levin, D-Detroit, and Debbie Stabenow, D-Lansing -- support the legislation."
