JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri lawmakers say they're reviving a failed agricultural bill that could help dairy, cattle and crop farmers.
Governor Jay Nixon vetoed the bill last session, citing concerns with a provision shifting oversight of captive-deer farms from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Agriculture.
The bill fell one vote short of the two-thirds needed to override Nixon's veto.
Legislators plan to remove the deer provisions from a new version of the bill next session. Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey says the bill should pass quickly.
Other measures in the legislation include a state-funded insurance subsidy for dairy farmers, scholarships for students pursuing agricultural degrees and an exemption for weight limits on cattle trucks.
