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.

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

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