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

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

The current benefit level is not simply inadequate.

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 come from a multi-generational family of ranchers in northern Arizona.
