Can you talk about the importance of the safety net and maintaining domestic food production, and for your commodity, what other countries are major producers, and how do they stack up from a conservation and a climate standpoint?

As this Committee discusses conservation and climate programs, it is important to understand that hindering the U.S. wheat farmer's ability to produce their products, which have long been grown under climate-smart practices that leave the…

Without the safety net provided by the farm bill, many farmers would have been forced to exit the industry, putting the food supply at risk.

Policies that allow farms to be passed onto next generations of farmers affordably, allow our farmers to remain in business through down economic years and natural disasters, and help mitigate risk in one of the riskiest businesses in the…

The importance of the safety net for farmers in general and how critical that safety net is for maintaining domestic food production and supporting national security.

The farming safety net is vital in not only keeping farmers employed on their farms that have often times been in the family for multiple generations, but in ensuring that the United States has the most secure, safe, and affordable food…

Weakening sugar policy and outsourcing more of our sugar production to heavily subsidized global sugar markets would undercut our supply chains, weaken national security, hurt the environment, and cost us family farms here in the U.S.

The smartest thing we can do from a climate standpoint is, quite frankly, to have American farmers, ranchers, and foresters produce more and export it overseas.

We should be asking ourselves what can we do to make climate policy farmer friendly?

It is not so much, at this point, we can have record high commodity prices we are getting, but with inflation, it is the margin that matters.

Farm bill programs represent an important public-private partnership that enables producers to provide these public benefits while remaining economically viable.

We appreciate the opportunity to submit this statement on Farm Bill Conservation Programs.

We look forward to continuing this conversation so that we are in a position to, at the end of the day when we get that 2023 Farm Bill across the finish line, it is something that we can be very proud of, but more importantly, will be very…

As we work towards the 2023 Farm Bill, we know that we have a lot of responsibility and that means doing great oversight and learning the lessons of what we were able to put into what looks like a very successful 2018 Farm Bill.

It must remain the conservation title and not be repurposed as the climate title.

American farmers, ranchers, and foresters are climate heroes. They really lead the way in the world on the issue of climate and sequestering over 6.1 gigatons of carbon annually.

I have been a longtime supporter of our farm bill conservation programs.

This is the work this Committee should be doing as we prepare for the next farm bill.

In order to stem this decline, we must have strong dairy policies in place that provides a safety net.

First, I want to remind the Committee we are again battling record levels of inflation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and good morning to our witnesses...

The farm safety net is critically important.

House Democrats this past week passed a bill to nationalize elections. On a party-line vote Democrats, led by Speaker Pelosi, passed a bill nationalizing elections in an attempt to maintain power. If ultimately enacted, this would…
