I certainly thank the gentleman from Oregon, and I would just say that these hemp pilot programs have been tremendous in Kentucky. And they have answered all the questions, like the questions law enforcement had. They came and visited the fields. They said: ``You are right; there is no big deal here. This is okay.'' And so that is the important thing about these hemp programs, and we need to keep them going, and we need to take it to the level. We can't afford delays. You can't afford a delay when the weather is not always cooperating with you. A week, 2 weeks could ruin you. So I urge my colleagues to vote for this amendment. It is just common sense. All we are asking is to follow the law. How hard is that? I yield back the balance of my time.
