The senators who will serve on the conference committee for the farm bill have been named — the latest step in the bill's long, slow journey through Congress.

Five Democrats and five Republicans are on the list, including Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Ag Committee, also will chair the conference committee. For a complete list of members, click here .

The conference committee will work on merging the Senate version of the farm bill with the House of Representatives' version.
