"I am real strong supporter of voluntary conservation programs for working lands and for helping our farmers and ranchers with conservation practices because we certainly need them out there doing that..."

"I am hearing from constituents that more could be done to support wood products so that our working forest owners can sell their trees at a healthy price."

"I believe more can be done to help stabilize that, both at home and across the globe if we were to unleash domestic energy production, including oil and gas, here in this country."

"But we can only do this with energy policies that allow Americans to flourish, that we can produce and not be paralyzed by policies and the agendas that harm that."
