I share Chairman Peterson's concerns over hemp. I am worried we have opened Pandora's box.
We need to make sure that people that are unemployed, people that are having a tough time, have enough food to take care of their kids.
I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.
It is critical and absolutely crucial that food assistance and agriculture development efforts focus on building resilience.
