Donnelly Uses Farm Bill On Trail

Rep. Joe Donnelly, a Senate candidate in Indiana, hopes to get some last-minute mileage out of the farm bill stalled in Congress.

The Democrat will be joined by Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota, the House Agriculture Committee's top Democrat, to talk about the need for a five-year farm bill. The pair will appear at a winery in Plainfield, Ind.

Donnelly has consistently tried to portray his GOP opponent, Richard Mourdock, as an uncompromising partisan and the farm bill appears to be another means to do so
