During the recent packer hearing, Chairman Scott mentioned that he used a chart compiled of what really was cherry-picked data with zero context to accuse all four of the major beef packing CEOs of price- fixing and collusion. The packing…
I continue to offer my opposition to this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1170, the previous question is ordered on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from…
I am honored to yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Cammack), who is another great member of the House Agriculture Committee.
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 221…

climate policies need to benefit producers. Our farmers, our ranchers, and our foresters primarily.
It is vitally important that the next farm bill significantly ramp up the investment in agricultural research.
I, along with Leader McCarthy and nearly 100 of my Republican colleagues, called on President Biden to end his regulatory assault on rural America.
We look forward to working with you to find ways to improve climate and agriculture research for young, beginning, and BIPOC farmers.
Agricultural research will be the critical key to providing farmers with proven ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Although they have traditionally by some have had a bullseye on their back that literally says climate criminals, that should be replaced with the mantle of climate heroes.
The United States has fallen significantly behind on its investment in agricultural research, with a budget that has remained relatively stagnant since the 1970s.
One of our most effective--I think the most effective climate heroes not just in this nation but anywhere in the world is the American farmer.
I will reject complicating our programs and making climate the focus of every title of the upcoming farm bill reauthorization.
The Biden Administration, and inside the beltway think-tanks, have been pushing a climate agenda that creates new programs and added what I see commonly unnecessary bureaucracy.
I would just encourage everyone to check out the SUSTAINS Act (H.R. 2606) because it does that.
People aren't going to be taking summer trips when gas gets to $6, $7 or $8 a gallon.
the only way to accomplish that with the tools that are out there today is for the American farmers, ranchers, and foresters to produce more and export it overseas.
Until this Administration focuses on moving people forward, lowering gas prices, tackling inflation, and disincentivizing the COVID gravy train, these problems are going to persist.
