Doug LaMalfa: “Are your offices open yet?”

Farmers like the current conservation programs that are out there, EQIP and the others, but this new one here is going to require them to jump through hoops in order to maybe be competitive or not.

I was able to get my stuff done there and do something right today, so I appreciate your indulgence.

We greatly appreciate the leadership of Representative Fischbach, Representative LaMalfa and Representative Thompson for the introduction of the HEN Act.

I appreciate my colleague from Alaska, Mrs. Peltola, being a partner on it, too, especially in memory of my good pal, Mr. Don Young.
