It does not stay a fair playing field when we have these mega corporate farms.

The biggest four meat packers made a record, Mr. Chair, of $13 billion in profit in 2021.

While family farms struggle, big ag thrives, as we continue to see.

You don't get a chance to talk to the American people.

Over the past 25 years, JBS gave over $100 million--I would say very much in bribes--to more than 1,800 politicians in Brazil.

According to the Open Markets Institute, Mr. Chair, the industrial consolidation of ag has actually cost 17,000 cattle farmers in our country to go out of business every year since 1980.

There are a few industries, as we all know, that are essential to our survival as--and as uniquely at risk from impacts of climate change as our agricultural sector.

I appreciate this hearing, Mr. Chair, and I yield.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.

Republicans are claiming this is about returning power to the states, but they have said themselves that they want to ban abortion nationwide.

If they kept the majority in the House and the Senate, they will pass laws that will outlaw abortion rights throughout this country.
