Without those critical REAP funds, most farms simply cannot make these expensive projects work out.

It offers farmer-friendly, streamlined experience that is making it easier for producers to develop and sell carbon credits.

USDA has very powerful tools to help the industry advance and also to sustain food supply chains through moments of crisis.

This subcommittee has an opportunity to turn that figure around and transform our food system.

I think education is important, and I think also making the connection back to the fact that it is not just about the products that we get from it, like milk, but it is the farm story as well.

The objectives of this initiative are to establish regional centers that would support dairy businesses and farmers.

First and foremost, we need to have agriculture at the table.

We need to make investments and support policies that will help our farms thrive and be financially viable.

Over $80 billion are needed to finish the job to connect all Americans to the superhighway of the 21st century.

Chair Baldwin knows this all too well.

I truly believe this initiative provides dairy farmers that wish to diversify with the relevant technical and business advice, as well as financial grants to support a new/expanded dairy business.

In 2018, the Dairy Business Innovation Initiative was launched as part of the 2018 Farm Bill, by Senator Baldwin and others.

We must be fighting for fairer markets that ensure opportunities for everyone who wants to be involved with agriculture.

These digesters, in my mind, are a win-win, helping farmers manage their manure and reduce methane emissions and make money while doing so.

Chair Baldwin first secured support for the creation of these initiatives in the 2018 farm bill.

I believe that it starts with helping to create better markets that allow for a competitive marketplace.

For our farms and rural towns to succeed, we need a Federal Government that is in their corner.

We need transformational investments in broadband that ensure all Americans finally have access to reliable and affordable high-speed Internet service.

In my view and in my experience, the future of conservation and the future of agriculture must be precision.

That decline, that issue is a major motivation for her work to create the Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives.

In 2019, the Dairy Business Innovation Initiatives was launched as part of the 2018 farm bill by Senator Baldwin and others.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 5:05 p.m., adjourned until Monday, April 26, 2021, at 3 p.m…

Please describe HUD's proposals for resilient infrastructure included in the American Jobs Plan and FY22 budget request.

I recently introduced bipartisan legislation with my Republican colleague, the Made in American Act, to require that all Federal programs that fund or finance infrastructure projects use materials manufactured in the U.S.

I am pleased that the American Jobs Plan will make our infrastructure more resilient to extreme weather and the effects of climate change.
