"Through these travels, I've come to realize that American agriculture can be defined in three words: science, technology, and innovation."

"These advances would not have been possible without the great research, extension, and education being done by our land-grant universities."

"It is important to hear from USDA about implementation of new and existing research programs to learn what's working, what isn't, and what needs to be fixed."
