Ann Kirkpatrick: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And thank you, Administrator Guzman, for being here to answer our questions today.”

It is not only a question of fairness, but also an important investment in the future of our agricultural economy.

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

It is incumbent upon Congress and the USDA to reverse this trend.

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