"Thank you for holding this important hearing. I think so often, as we focus on the details and the minutiae of the farm bill, we forget the overall economic picture."

"I think it is important to emphasize the infrastructure that is created by the workforce in USDA Rural Development."

"I share the Chair's support for crop insurance and concern with the elimination of the--some of the crop insurance protections that have been discussed."

"Thank you very much. I thought we'd have Abbey's picture up there so everyone remembers her smiling face that I told you about."
