these costs are paused.
As many of my colleagues have expressed—and you will hear from today—we remain deeply troubled by the Administration’s pause on conservation support for farmers, and we would like to make sure that we reduce this chaos and make it easier for our farmers to do their good work.
This Committee has always provided a venue for coming together, Democrats and Republicans, to support our farmers and rural America. I know from our personal friendship that Chairman Boozman and I, and in our Committee hearings so far, want that to continue in a very strong way. We’re excited about the Committee and the incredible members on this Committee, and we want to do right by our farmers and the people of this country that depend on them.
I look forward to hearing from the testimony of the witnesses.
