As we move forward, you mentioned cellulosic opportunities, what is the status right now of moving ahead on more cellulosic opportunities to make our homegrown fuels more secure?

I am actually grateful that Chairman Conaway has given me the opportunity to once again chair the Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture, and Research.

I'm Rodney Davis from central Illinois. We actually do not have many speciality crops in the 14 counties that I serve.

We want to get the benefits and the food to those families and those individuals who need it the most.

it's vital that we invest in public agricultural research. Organic agriculture is the future of American agriculture and we need more research for organic farming.

I'm excited to be here. It's great to be able to serve on the Agriculture Committee with Chairman Conaway and Ranking Member Peterson.

Where is that access to good food for those individuals who may not live in urban areas?

the good news is we are building on a record of bipartisan work and accomplishments.

Unfortunately, it is not the shining, sleek, high-speed rail at the high speed we would like to see.
