A Think Progress post here farm bill issues: specifically will the Republican dominance lead to an attack on food stamps or on environmental regulations.
Illinois extension here has a discussion of the baseline for the farm bill's farm programs--perhaps $10 billion a year. I believe that's higher than the current bill's baseline was. ("Baseline" is, if I understand, the Congressional Budget Office's estimate of future costs, over 10 years, if all Congress did was to extend current farm bill provisions with no change.)
