WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- President Bush on Wednesday vetoed the latest version of the $289 billion farm bill, reiterating prior complaints about its government payments to farmers. "At a time of high food prices and record farm income, this bill lacks program reform and fiscal discipline," the president said. Both the House and Senate are expected to hold veto override votes soon, and it's likely that both chambers will get the needed votes. Bush had already vetoed a version of the bill that had inadvertently left out a portion covering international food aid.
