David Scott: “I just really want to commend you for putting this panel together and this hearing for several important reasons.”

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

If there are Members on the other side of the aisle that truly want to see a farm bill come to fruition this year, my door remains open to negotiation from any partner willing to come to the table with a serious proposal, not more red…

There is no profession that is more relied on and dependent on the environment than farming.

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.
