David Scott: “We are forcing the taxpayers to eat a lot of new debt and a lot of stuff that we are talking about.”

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 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.

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