This nation rejects torture in all forms, no matter what any private individual may express.

Yes, there is a generational difference, and the folks that I think we need to be most concerned about are those who have started farming in, let's say, the last 10 years or 5 years in particular where they started at a time of very high…

Risk management is critical.

Real farm incomes are at a 20+ year low. It doesn't look like a lot of relief is on the horizon.

I appreciate his advocacy for our producers in the first district of Minnesota.

We wrote that farm bill in a very good time for the bad times.

I am glad that Congressman Walz is here, and you mentioned about your trip to Tibet.

So you see a real impact, all right.

I understand why people are hesitant to speak out sometimes, but we need to cultivate those relationships and hope that not tomorrow, but longer-term, this will turn in the right direction.

Candidly to you nearly 30 years of visiting and certainly subjective from my position, it felt worse to me than it ever has.

A lot of good food for thought helping us prepare as we go forward.

Emission reductions from this rule alone would prevent more than $170 million in economic, public health, and environmental damages per year.

You cannot deny that the Federal Government had a role in this, can you?

I think there are benefits to our air. I think there are benefits in terms of the amount of carbon and in terms of greenhouse gases.

I am concerned about undetected methane leaks. We cannot reduce our greenhouse gas emissions if we do not even know they are happening in the first place.

We are trying to get the rest of the world to go along with us. My colleagues do not seem to recognize the seriousness of climate change, and that this is a global problem.
