David Scott: “Some of my Republican friends want to strip the Fed of its supervisory and regulatory functions”

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

It is my hope that our farm bill will take all of this into consideration.

It is clear that we need to come together, Republicans and Democrats, on a farm bill that strengthens the farm safety net, and we are going to do it together.
