The future of rural America depends on whether the next generation decides to continue operating their family farms and ranches.
Thank you very much to the panel for your excellent testimony.
I am glad to live in a country where people can speak freely.
I do not dare gavel you down.
There is no one more committed to leaving this world cleaner, healthier, and safer than we found it.
I think that program has got a lot of potential.
Instead of a dust bowl, today's farmers and ranchers are dealing with a 1,200-year drought.
This is a five-alarm fire, and Washington needs to treat it that way.
I am confident that we will come out of today's field hearings with innovative solutions for farmers and ranchers.
In my mind, this is a perfect example of what we are trying to get to in the conversations that we are having.
I think we need to be willing to support experiments that are going to fail.
