Jodey C. Arrington Republican
“Our farmers and ranchers need emergency help because of droughts, disasters, and diseases. This hurts our food supply. We must feed our own families instead of depending on other countries.”
“Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. You heard the chairman of the Agriculture Committee. He is talking about emergency support for our farmers and ranchers who, by no fault of their own, are being pummeled by drought, natural disasters of all kinds, diseases like the screwworm. This will affect the food supply. We don’t want to depend on China or any country. We don’t want to beg any foreign country to feed our families. I thank him for his leadership, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
