What we are seeing today, going on right now, the American experience for the family right now as you go to the grocery stores, you are wondering about food prices, you are wondering about lack of supplies on the shelves.

I hear them talking about, like, the cost of gasoline and finding gasoline, and the cost of everything.

But I would like to specifically ask a question about the CRP program. Right now the biggest problem in that program is flexibility.

More than $147 billion in Federal funding has been dedicated to broadband in the last 4 years alone.

that whole farm bill is an economic project to ensure that Americans have a safe and efficient food source, and in fact, that is what this Committee needs to be laser focused on.
