Who is going to take care of those children, the disability, the people who are in these homes that SNAP is giving the attention to?

Any cuts to these lifesaving benefits would disproportionately affect the folks who make up the majority of my district, which is Black and Latino Americans.

I think we have an obligation to do that.

I am personally committed to ensure that we pass a farm bill that both supports our farmers and producers, and also protects food security for America's households.

We are here to help the disabled. And when you throw in our veterans, who are living in food-insecure households at a rate of 7.4 percent greater than the general population.

We need to encourage innovative solutions throughout the conservation title.

Legislation such as Chairman Baird's and Ranking Member Spanberger's Increased TSP Access Act of 2023 are critical to addressing this issue.

Finally, as we look at the farm bill's conservation programs, we must ensure that Title II programs will always be voluntary, incentive-based, producer-first, and locally-led.

Thank you for holding a hearing on 'Conservation in the Farm Bill: Making Conservation Programs Work for Farmers and Ranchers.'
