“I know how strongly the majority leader feels about the need to write a farm bill. This is about family farmers hanging on by their financial fingertips and struggling to survive. It is our obligation to get this done. I know it is not the fault of the majority leader. It was his full intention to bring that to the floor. I am deeply reassured by that answer. I look forward to being here with the majority leader and with the chairman of the Agriculture Committee fighting hard for a farm bill that will give family farmers in this country a decent chance to survive.”
