David Scott: “This is a very timely and very important hearing. I have been on this committee during my entire 19 years in Congress…”

Agriculture is extremely important to our rural communities, but it is important to urban communities as well.

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

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

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