McCain has opposed farm bill after farm bill; following Bush&apos;s veto of the 2008 version of the five&#45;year legislation, McCain said he also would have vetoed it. Obama supported the bill, which Congress passed over Bush&apos;s veto with&#8230;"

By any measure, Northey said, it has been a trying year for Iowa farmers &#45; record rain fall, record flooding, fitful weather throughout. The irony is that 2008 was a year that started with great expectations: Inputs, the costs that go into farming, were higher than ever but prices for corn and soybeans lingered near record highs. &quot;When you go into a year&#8230;"
