I appreciate the Chairman holding this bipartisan hearing that will shine light on actions that farmers in Iowa...

I support the work for biostimulants as well.

I introduce the Plant Biostimulant Act with Senator-- and it is bicameral and bipartisan as well.

Just like with many things, you have got to be careful that you keep it entrepreneurial, you keep a good business environment.

I am concerned about that larger picture of where we are at as a government in terms of how we are borrowing so much money, just routinely, year after year.

I think, from this Committee, I am glad the Chairman is putting emphasis on small entities within agriculture.

We do not want to stifle it along the way.

I found that I've actually had a better return on managing my forest ground than my farm ground.

We need to get at that forefront, so we are a competitor in the world arena there.

Something has got to change, and I think until we actually start doing budgets and doing things that would give more confidence to the American public that we are going to craft solutions and pay for them sustainably.

I am a big advocate that we are wasting time in high school to direct parents and kids into career and technical education avenues.

I think that this is probably something you need to all have on your radar because every particular component of our economy has some degree of it.

I think that would cut both ways.

We need to improve Care Compare and expand the health care workforce.

For the first time in U.S. history, older adults are expected to outnumber children by 2034.

We are running $2 trillion deficits currently, up from $1 trillion, and it has been on both sides of the aisle that have not managed the Federal Government in a way that puts so much in peril.

Since I have been here, this place is going the wrong direction in terms of running its own kind of finances in a way that would be sustainable, for all the places that look to it.

I can tell you that in a State like Indiana with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, biggest manufacturing State per capita, how we are dealing with this is not necessarily from here.
