I am just urging you all not to reduce local staff.

I think it is important that that work is started as soon as possible, because that is where we are going to see a huge benefit, economic benefit for our ag producers.

We have to build workforce. We have to deploy workforce, and we have to deploy workforce where we haven't before.

People who are going to buy into carbon markets, they want certainty.

The last thing that we should be doing in agriculture is making a claim about climate that is not valid.

I think it has been pretty clear that I think that we don't yet have good measurement tools.

One of the looming crises in America is land ownership and absentee land ownership.

We can't delay this process too long, making perfect the enemy of good.

whoever wants in these conservation programs should get in these conservation programs and up the ante and create greater incentives.

What better way to sink carbon than to keep it in the wood, right? I mean, we recognize that forests can be such a big part of this.

I think that it is the single most important part of our recommendations in forestry that we make sure that we have the seedstock, we make sure that we are building resiliency.

I expect that we are going to have to be able to prove sustainability and climate sensitivity for the commodities that we sell into the global market in the future. Let's get going.

Let's not study something to death to the point where we don't get the job done.

We have to give the industry certainty.

If we want to keep a culture of family farming in this country, we have to look at land ownership.

This is why we--as a peace loving, freedom loving, generous nation--cannot abandon our post in these fragile areas.

They are predators. They are extorters.

My first suggestion is follow the law, and a previous speaker talked about this Administration.
