David Scott: “I strongly disagree with both of those points, and I would like to use a bit of my time to follow up on them.”

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

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

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.
