Bobby Rush: “This bill is simply a solution in search of a problem.”

I am extremely interested in member cooperatives, and I am looking forward to ways to expand ag co-ops to urban areas.

We on the Agriculture Committee have a special and unique mission to try to help solve the problem of Black farmers in our nation.

I urge the members of this Select Committee to co-sponsor this important legislation and hope to see it passed before the end of the 117th Congress.

I certainly want to thank you, Mr. Chairman. This has been a very, very informative hearing, and I thank you for it.
