The Conservation Title should focus on the locally led, voluntary, incentive-based conservation model instead of a top-down regulatory regime.

It is critical that conservation funds... reject a one-size-fits-all approach.

What can Congress do to support farmers who decide to incorporate this risk reducing soil health and conservation management practices?

We need to work on that.

Everything that Congress has done over the years to improve opportunities for young and beginning farmers has failed miserably.

It is critical that conservation funds, both provided by the 2023 Farm Bill and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act recognize the diversity of production practices across the cotton belt by rejecting a one-size-fits-all approach.

While we should continue to incentive producer's adoption of conservation and climate smart practices, these programs must be locally driven with a clear understanding of the environmental and agronomic conditions facing growers from…

Stop the nonsense. Let's get back to work and solve the real problems, which is what the people back home sent us here to do.

I look forward to collaborating further with my colleagues to deliver more Federal funding to these communities.

As a career meteorologist, I appreciate your words of a government-as-a-whole approach.

Residents living in aviation-impacted communities cannot wait any longer for relief from the public-health consequences of exposure to high concentrations of pollutants and high levels of aviation noise.

I believe a fundamental problem with our current response to aviation noise and emissions at the federal level is that it is almost entirely led by the FAA.

I recently worked with impacted community members and organizations in my district to introduce the Aviation Noise and Emissions Mitigation Act.

That is why I strongly support the reestablishment of the EPA's Office of Noise Abatement and Control and additional actions by the EPA and HHS to increase their engagement in affected communities.

So can you maybe explain to me why we are importing pork into the United States and poultry into the United States when the American farmer is capable of producing these in nearly unlimited capacity?

Are we importing poultry into the United States?

Are we importing pork into this country from anywhere?

We appreciate your consideration of the immense positive impact SNAP has on the lives of millions of Americans as well as its beneficial impact on the national economy and our nation's long-term financial sustainability.

Since the last farm bill, producers received $13 billion in response to extreme weather events as it has impacted their yield, which is why I will work to protect and expand the crop insurance program in the upcoming farm bill.

Your insight, your leadership is essential to help Congress craft a bipartisan farm bill that ensures our farmers, rural communities, and food systems are resilient and thriving.

Today I rise to recognize a very special group from western Illinois, the Moline High School Boys Basketball Team. The Maroons recently made history, bringing home the school's first- ever State Championship win. Under Head Coach Sean…

Three in a row, Midwest is best.
