I am a strong believer in the Renewable Fuel Standard. And I know it is controversial even in this Committee, but I believe it is important to have for jobs, for stabilizing farm income, for reducing our reliance on foreign oil, and for providing consumers choice, and less expensive gas.
Vilsack supports the Renewable Fuel Standard for economic and consumer benefits.

What I can tell you, Senator, and I will get a specific answer to that hypothetical.
If you take SNAP and you reduce it or you eliminate it, you are obviously going to impact not just the poor families that are receiving it.
It would likely mean a loss of 40,000 rental assistance units in rural America.
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.
