With these in mind, the next farm bill must be designed with maximum flexibility and effective risk management for our farmers and ranchers as we feed a growing and hungry world.

As America's farmers and ranchers, we will do our fair share, I believe, to solve this problem, but so should the more than 80 percent of the farm bill spending for food stamps and other welfare programs.

Pass a strong farm bill that protects programs like SNAP, TEFAP, and CSFP which help provide food for millions of America's most vulnerable seniors, children, and working poor.

We need a strong farm bill to help put food on the table for vulnerable children, seniors, and low-income families.

The broad range of agricultural production in our country is what makes our country strong, and it also creates challenges, when we're trying to write a single farm bill that supports so many different regions and commodities.

We strongly urge you to take action to prevent the implementation of this rule.

I oppose the inclusion of the livestock title in the next farm bill.

Simply put, during the development of the 2012 Farm Bill, crop insurance must be a priority.

We'd just like to have the freedom to market livestock the best way we see fit, and we truly feel like the livestock producers are the best to do that.

We must promote an economy that works for all Americans.

No man or woman who has served our country in uniform should have to fight for a job or their benefits here at home.
