David Scott: “Food insecurity is a critical issue in eastern North Carolina, rural America, and across the country.”

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.

The regulatory impact on those hardworking families who provide us food and fiber, building materials, energy resources, I mean, it is a tax.

I would say that we would appreciate a strong safety net or a stronger safety net.

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