Madam Speaker, California is also the number one agriculture State in the Nation. Dairy producers are a key part of that production. They are feeling the pinch of the pandemic, an unsteady market, and increases in feed and input costs, which impact the bottom line. From milk to cheese that we all enjoy, dairy producers have been working tirelessly to put food on America's dinner table. California produces over 20 percent of all the milk in America. I am proud to announce that I, along with some of my Republican and Democratic colleagues, have worked with Secretary Vilsack to secure $100 million in additional aid to support the dairy producers recovering from the impacts of COVID-19. As the leading dairy-producing State in the Union, this funding will help California dairy farmers so they can continue to produce and deliver the most nutritious products around the world. {time} 1045 Honoring the Career of Kerri Donis
