Washington (CNN) The Senate passed their version of the farm bill on Thursday, with a 86-11 vote.

The farm bill is monumental legislation that sets the eating and farming policy in the United States -- including what Americans grow, what Americans know about their dinner and how much the government spends in the process -- for about five years.

All eyes will now turn to efforts between the House and Senate to resolve major issues between their respective bills by September 30, the deadline for the expiration of the current law, which was enacted in 2014.

At the top of the list is the House Republican overhaul of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP -- the primary reason none of the chamber's Democrats supported the traditionally bipartisan effort. The program itself serves more than 40 million people annually and accounts for almost 80 percent of the bill's $430 billion cost over five years.

The House-passed bill would require able-bodied adults without children under the age of six to work a minimum of 20 hours per week in order to maintain benefits, and also tighten overall eligibility requirements while moving money from the program to other work-related programs.
