Bobby Rush: “This bill has been subject to an incredible amount of disinformation and distortions and, frankly, downright lies.”

What specific policies would you recommend to combat the historic and current discrimination too often faced by Black and Brown farmers in your respective industries?

Discrimination and prejudice absolutely should not be tolerated in any government program, any organization, or any individual.

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

I certainly want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for this outstanding hearing this morning.
