David Scott: “This is, indeed, an important, important hearing.”

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.

We are not going to have nutrition if we don't have farmers.

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

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