"I really want to be clear here, because I do not think it should be contract farmers, who, too, are living in challenging conditions, often making very low wages at really rough margins."

"Do you agree that it is good to have periodic independent audits of those checkoff programs so there is a fundamental fairness?"

"I was so astonished by this; we don't really have these in New Jersey, that I actually went down to Duplin County to see, firsthand, what was going on."

"Do you agree that it would be beneficial to make those programs more transparent so that family farmers... can quickly see the budgets and expenditures?"
