I am also interested in hearing more about what producers do not want in this next farm bill, as time has taught us, even if well intended, more legislation and regulation often is not the answer.

I am especially concerned with the Biden Administration's false narrative about the protein sector's contribution to the skyrocketing cost of food in America.

I co-led the Agriculture Export Promotion Act of 2023 (H.R. 648) in this Congress.

I believe Congress must think critically and carefully about trade, and trade promotion.

It is an honor to chair this first hearing of the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry in the 118th Congress.

Chairing this Subcommittee is a privilege for me, as I represent the big 1st District of Kansas, which produces more than $10 billion worth of livestock, dairy, poultry, and products like beef, milk, and eggs every year.

I understand the grit, tenacity, and courage that it takes to make a living in agriculture and the burden and responsibility for feeding the world that comes along with it.

That does not happen in a vacuum. It takes the entire animal agriculture chain to make that happen.

It is not just the regulations, the poor science that is used to push these regulations, but also the timing of them.

I will encourage everyone on this Committee to join our legislation to tell the Administration loud and clear that we want to keep the stepped-up basis for our ag producers.

These taxes the Administration is putting down are not game-changers, they are game-enders for American agriculture and our family farms.

I have introduced legislation, introduced last week (H. Res. 237). We have bipartisan support to keep the stepped-up basis.
