We need to be aware of that, and if this farm bill were willing to expand those training programs, we have to be willing to put our money where our mouth is to make them effective.

It works. And if you have the kind of resources and people who want to make a difference, you can, in fact, make this successful.

The nutrition programs are a key component of the farm bill, as we all know.

America has defended us for the better part of a century. America was attacked on 9/11. It is time for us to change our constitution for the purpose of helping America.

I regard this aggressiveness by China as important.

We should continue that and try to expand upon it.

A better understanding of who this whole group is and its impacts would be hugely beneficial to the Committee.

The bottom line for us is the vast majority of military cargo that goes overseas to sustain our warfighters goes on American commercial ships not Navy ships.

It is vitally important that we have those funds to keep opening markets because that is the future.

I am very proud of that. Although, perhaps we should readdress the title because specialty crops are not just special, but a part of every day good nutrition on America's dinner table.

We have approximately right now, in the industry sailing deep sea, about 11,300 mariners.

It does go back to U.S. security; it does go back to national security, and it goes back to food security.

I commit to work with you and work with Members of this Committee to figure out ways that we can expand those efforts.

I don't believe we are the only state with this problem.

The relationship that has existed for over 100 years with land-grant universities and others in terms of this partnership is unique.

Each and every one of you play a critical role in food security.
