“Let me also recognize Sara Braasch, who worked with me on my staff, for the tremendous effort she put in, working with the Senate Agriculture Committee staff, resolving so many different issues that make up a good farm bill. Over the course of the last 2 years I have held a series of meetings across my State, meeting with farmers and ranchers about what they thought ought to be in a new farm bill, a new, national, public policy, as to how Government, Federal Government, ought to interface with American agriculture and Idaho agriculture. I heard in so many ways a level of frustration mounting across my State that, while they thought some level of farm policy was necessary, Government was no longer a cooperating partner.”
