Senator Lujan and I are working to introduce our proposal to improve the effectiveness and timeliness of disaster programs for livestock producers.

I want to urge USDA to consider its ERP Phase Two methodology and to use the Phase One approach going forward for 2022 crop losses.

It is critically important that the next farm bill provides a strong safety net and risk management tools that allow farmers and ranchers to continue working to feed and fuel our Nation and the world.

I believe that a clear framework for such operations is critical to the safety and efficiency of the NAS.

It just seems like IPEF did not address the issue of market access, which is what our agricultural producers in South Dakota are looking for.

Was he a factor? I don't think there's any question about that. Because a lot of the candidates that had problems in these elections were running on the 2020 election being stolen. And I don't think independent voters were having it.

I just want to thank you for what you have said about Senator Inhofe and about our Bible study. I would say to all of our colleagues that of all the time we spend here each and every week, that particular hour is arguably the most…

I think there`s a process for declassifying documents. And I think it ought to be adhered to and followed. And I think that should apply to anybody who has access to or deals with classified information.

I question the need for an even greater increase in EPA power and appropriations in light of the recent spending.

The first bill I will talk about is the Livestock Regulatory Protection Act, which would ensure EPA cannot establish a new cow tax.

I have proudly supported Senator Burr's RPM Act since it was first proposed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Capito, for holding today's legislative hearing to consider the Livestock Regulatory Protection Act.

The FBI needs to provide answers as to why they raided the home of a former American president.

In my state, they use them to shoot prairie dogs and, you know, other types of varmints. And so, I think that there are legitimate reasons why people would want to have them.

Before I begin, I want to express my sorrow at the terrible shooting in Texas on Tuesday that claimed the lives of 2 teachers and 19 schoolchildren. Like a lot of Americans, I cannot imagine the anguish these children's parents are facing…

'You don't have to join our caucus,' John Thune told Manchin, 'just become an independent and then caucus with us.'

I would be happy to yield to our colleague and the chairman of the Senate Ag Committee, who also has big equities in this discussion.

I again would urge the Committee to follow through on a request that Senators Marshall, Ernst, and I have made to hold a hearing on the current agricultural supply chain challenges.

I want to express my frustration at the fact that I do not believe we are focusing enough on the numerous challenges that rural Americans are currently facing as a result of high inflation.

Let me be clear. We all want nursing homes to be safe and our loved ones to have quality care, but the President just proposed new requirements on staffing and potential enforcement penalties that make me wonder if anyone is thinking about…

I will bet these guys are very relieved to know that they are finally at the end.
