Work requirements are in place, and so I submit for the record--or I ask unanimous consent to submit for the record the statute related to existing work requirements, which do indeed already exist for many SNAP requirements.

Clearly, I am going to use up all of my time ranting about this, but the fact is we are here today to talk about making more cuts, to making it more restrictive, to making it more difficult, and I can't say it enough, this is the wealthiest country in the world.

Millions of elderly Americans, our seniors, our grandparents, our retirees, our neighbors, they are going to bed hungry.

We share your continued commitment to improving voluntary, locally-led, and incentive-based programs under USDA and NRCS.

Your dedication to conservation and supporting America's farmers, ranchers, and foresters is clear.

As part of a greater effort to hire nearly 3,000 new people in the coming years...

And now we need to focus on making it easier for farmers to enroll in these programs.

Farmers also shared some of the challenges that they experienced in enrolling in these programs.

I am proud to co-lead with Chairman Baird, the Increased TSP Access Act.

Last month I convened a farm bill summit in my district to hear directly from Virginia crop and livestock producers.

Thank you, Chairman Baird. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from these two witnesses about USDA's conservation work.
