"I don't want the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times preaching to me anymore about the modest assistance that we provide to our farmers in America."

"USDA must closely monitor our production sector and ensure that any legislative priorities treat all areas of the country fairly."

"There is no magic bullet anywhere along the line."
