Bobby Rush: “What are your plans for moving forward with that?”

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 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.

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?
