I support this amendment. We've seen natural disasters from droughts to heat waves to floods affecting farmers from coast to coast because of the climate change issue. We spend billions of dollars on crop insurance subsidies to cover the cost of these climate disasters.

It adds climate mitigation as an eligible EQIP program expense. I think it makes sense, and I would urge my colleagues to support it.
