An Act
To provide for the continuation of agricultural and other programs of the Department of Agriculture
through fiscal year 2012, and for other purposes.


EXPLANATORY NOTE:

The House and Senate passed H.R. 2419 (the Food and Energy Security Act of 2007; Public Law 110-234) over veto, enacting 14 of 15 farm bill titles into law.
The Trade title (Title III) was inadvertently excluded from the enrolled bill. To remedy the situation, both chambers re-passed the farm bill conference agreement (including the Trade title) as H.R. 6124 (Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; Public Law 110-246), again over veto.
H.R. 6124 (Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; Public Law 110-246), in Section 4, repealed Public Law 110-234 (the Food and Energy Security Act of 2007) and amendments made by it, effective on the date of that Act's enactment.
