“It is an odd feeling now to tell a bunch of farmers that we are not allowed to offer amendments anymore. They look at you as if you have lost your mind. But that is what we have to tell them. We aren't allowed anymore in the Senate to bring up ideas and have amendments and have bills because they have to be cleared with the majority leader. We have to show him the amendment first. If he doesn't like it, we can't offer it. I try to be candid with people. That is a candid comment. That is truly different from the way things were.”
