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 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.

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

As such coins melted down so horrifically to cause concern for the rest of the industry.
