Sonny Perdue

The President understands that our farmers feed, fuel, and clothe this Nation and the world.

We need to invest in the future of agriculture and rural America.

We want to remove obstacles, and give them every opportunity to prosper.

I have never met a real farmer, Senator that wanted to--would rather have to call on insurance rather than have a good crop at a fair price.

I hope that you will hold me accountable on this.

When there is a tragedy, when there is a drought, when there is a flood, when there is hail, we need a safety net to call upon, but no longer can we think about insurance as an investment.

the burden of balancing the Federal budget cannot be placed on the backs of farmers and our rural communities.

Eliminating key rural development programs as proposed in the budget would inhibit the smallest rural communities from upgrading aging infrastructure and growing small businesses.

I will be the leading advocate for rural America and agricultural producers.

I will help to provide a way forward when it comes to immigration and making sure that there is labor there to help us harvest our crops.

Do right and feed everyone.
