John Thune: “Our farmers and ranchers depend on open markets and reliable trading relationships around the world.”

Try as we did on the House-passed version of it, we weren’t going to get there, and it was the small refineries issue.

We’ve got to get a bill, if we want to pass a farm bill, that’s something that can pass the House and be signed into law by the president.

I mean I can't defend anything that guy says or does.

I would love to have some spending cuts associated with the debt limit debate.
