The Prove It Act gives the hardworking American small businesses a voice in the regulatory process. It is time that we strengthen and empower our small business community rather than force them to comply with unnecessary and burdensome…

It is time for us to take this seriously. We must work swiftly to move, I guess, differently and more effectively of getting most of our eggs out of the basket of China.

As you are aware, EPA has been taking a novel approach to come into compliance with the endangered species act.

I think most farmers, including myself, would like to find a different path and, quite frankly, we call it hogwash.

Farm and food security is national security, and good farm policy isn't written by D.C. bureaucrats for D.C. bureaucrats.

I urge you to consider H.R. 4786, the Feeding Children Not Fraudsters Act, which would audit any cases of COVID-related fraud committed through USDA's child nutrition programs.

I look forward to continuing this work until all responsible parties are held accountable, and we get to the bottom of how these agencies allowed this fraud to happen.

I have been proud to work with Chairwoman Foxx, Chairman Comer, Chairman Thompson, and the rest of the Minnesota republican delegation in conducting oversight of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Minnesota Department of Education.

One party in this country doesn't own compassion, and one party in this country doesn't own the willingness to give the shirt off your back for your neighbors that are in need.

Food security is national security

Given these unfortunate realities, it is imperative that the trade programs in Title III work efficiently and effectively and can be fully utilized by our producers.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention my appreciation for the work of our ag trade officials.

I look forward to hearing more about that from our expert witnesses, as well as how they utilize the trade programs provided by the farm bill.

As a proud fourth-generation farmer, raising the fifth, I understand how important a robust trade agenda and economy is to farm country.

I look forward to working together to pass a strong farm bill that is written by farmers for farmers.

American farmers and ranchers efficiently produce the safest and most affordable fuel, food, and fiber in the world.

I look forward to working with you to pass a strong farm bill that is written by farmers, for farmers.

Yes, it rhymes with hero, and it is zero.

I appreciate the fact that you just mentioned that you are listening.

To me, there seems to be some tools at your disposal, and we are just not taking advantage of them.

Farmers are the best environmentalists in the world, and we are tired of the EPA bureaucrats telling us how to farm.

It is hard to say that with a straight face when you see this kind of fraud that has happened.

I don't want EPA telling us how to do our job.

Food and farm security is national security.
