Ann Kirkpatrick: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

The role of 1890 institutions has never been more critical.

Ranching is hard enough as it is, in the best of circumstances, so thank you for staying with it, and for what you do.

SNAP and our Federal safety net programs are a hand-up, not a hand-out, and many of us on this Committee once utilized the program.

I appreciate my colleague, Mr. Crawford's, comments about how we can work to develop a better system where we don't penalize people.
