WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate on Thursday sent a $100 billion food and farm spending bill to President Bush that includes a two-year delay on labels telling grocery shoppers where their meat comes from.

A separate vote was expected later Thursday on whether big farms should be allowed to continue collecting millions of dollars from the government to subsidize their operations.
