David Scott: “Credit access and availability is vitally important to keep a farming operation afloat.”

This delay hurts the American people, especially in rural communities where our farms are, and it injects uncertainty into our nation's economies.

This has to be our number-one national security issue, largely because it is a delicate dance.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And keep doing your excellent work.

This is a very important and a very timely hearing.
