I believe that the SNAP program's administrative flexibilities granted since 2020 have made an incredible difference in mitigating hunger throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have had multiple, and I personally have had multiple conversations with producers from the northeastern part of the United States just discussing the unique marketing challenges that they face.

In the past 2 years, we have enacted targeted programs and made historic investments to bridge the digital divide.

I am determined to build upon these critical winds and further enhance USDA's broadband programs.

I believe we can realize that goal by recognizing and supporting farmers and foresters for the climate-smart steps they are already taking.
