Today we go into the agriculture arena, as we have another edition of Congressional earmarks from the spending bills being developed in the House of Representatives. There are 196 earmarks - home state projects - listed in the bill that's been approved by a subcommittee of the House Appropriations panel which deals with farm and nutrition spending.

It totals out to $137 million by my count.  You will see the agency involved, the name of the project, the cost and then the sponsor, which is usually a lawmaker, but sometimes you also will see "The President" as a backer of that earmark.

Look through it and see what you can find that might merit further review.
