David Scott: “I hold out hope that we can develop a fruitful, consistent partnership with USDA that best serves our rural communities.”

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.

My feeling is Speaker Johnson will not bring this bill to the floor for a vote because it was not written as a serious bill.

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.
