Tom Vilsack: “We need an alternative fuel source in addition to, add to, complement our efforts on the electric.”

It would mean 6,600 farmers wouldn't get the credit they need to continue farming operations.

I hope that that factor is taken into consideration, given the importance of this Department

What I am happy to do is work with the Members of this Committee and others to pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act (117th Congress--H.R. 1603), which could have solved this problem, Congressman.

if you authorize it, if Congress creates the opportunity for this, we will be more than happy to utilize that program.
