Agriculture is extremely important to our rural communities, but it is important to urban communities as well.
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.
This delay hurts the American people, especially in rural communities where our farms are, and it injects uncertainty into our nation's economies.
