If farmers moved as slowly as Congress, there would be no corn crop this year. Nearly three months have passed since the 2002 federal Farm Bill expired, and representatives in Washington continue to struggle to come up with a replacement.

That's a prediction from Bruce Gardner, a professor at the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, who has been closely following the agriculture debate on Capitol Hill.
