The House narrowly passed its version of the farm bill today on its second try as Republican leadership managed to round up just enough support from hard-line conservatives to carry the bill across the finish line.

The sweeping farm and nutrition policy legislation passed by a vote of 213-211. The measure previously failed last month after Freedom Caucus members withheld support as leverage to force a vote on a conservative immigration measure.

Democrats had walked away from the bill in committee over its proposals to impose stricter work requirements on millions of food stamp recipients while pouring billions of dollars into state education and job training programs. Those proposals are a victory for House Speaker Paul Ryan and other Republicans who are eager to advance welfare reform.

The Senate is expected to vote as soon as next week on its bipartisan farm bill, which does not propose controversial changes to food stamps, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
