Mike Conaway: “I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes.”

Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.

It is critical and absolutely crucial that food assistance and agriculture development efforts focus on building resilience.

I share Chairman Peterson's concerns over hemp. I am worried we have opened Pandora's box.

I am grateful we have a new farm bill in place and a President who constantly stands up for the very Americans who provide our food and fiber.
