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 am continually concerned about the impact of any new costs on our nation's farmers and, specifically, the energy costs as it relates to minority farmers and consumers.
I certainly want to thank you, Mr. Chairman. This has been a very, very informative hearing, and I thank you for it.
I am absolutely committed to the idea, and the potential, of trying to create a unity of will, a unity of spirit, and a unity of understanding, in terms of the whole cooperative sector of our society.
