Remarks as prepared:
Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today as we discuss some of the agricultural programs, policies, and tools we have at our disposal for enhancing demand of homegrown agricultural products, both here and across the world.
Thank you especially to the expert witnesses joining us today. We look forward to hearing your experiences and perspectives on this vital matter.
Everything we do on this committee is tied to the principle of supporting American producers. I am extremely proud of the work this committee has done over the last few years, and I am grateful for those Members on both sides of the aisle who stepped up on behalf of the American producer.
