Tim Kaine on the Farm Bill

From U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA):

"
Dear friend,

It's official - the 2018 Farm Bill, which included key provisions to legalize hemp, was signed into law today. This comprehensive bipartisan legislation ends the outdated ban on hemp production and allows Virginia farmers to finally grow and sell the plant, creating new business opportunities and jobs in our Commonwealth.
The 2018 Farm Bill also included significant investments to expand Chesapeake Bay clean-up efforts, protect Virginia commodities like dairy and cotton, and maintain funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that Virginia families depend on for food security.
I'm proud we came together and delivered these big wins for Virginia families, farmers, and businesses.
Sincerely, 
"

You can follow the link to another link that contains the full text of the Farm Bill--all 807 pages of PDF. However, if the Senator were in fact a friend of mine, he'd know that I don't give a flyin' flip about hemp. I want to know where to find the removal of protections for glyphosate.
