I hadn't heard of this possibility, but the winter canola people are opposed (from today's Farm Policy):
"Yesterday’s update noted that, “The Plains winter canola delegation made the trip to DC to voice
their concerns and opposition to a new updated target price program
under which deficiency payments would be ‘recoupled’ to production on
planted acres up to the total aggregate crop base acres of a
farm, effectively reversing the planting flexibility that has been in
place since the 1996 farm bill. The target price program was reportedly a
component of the legislation that the agriculture committees had
intended to submit to the Super Committee as agriculture’s $23 billion
contribution to deficit reduction before those efforts failed on
November 23rd.
