two-thirds of colorado's agricultural production comes from the south platte river valley, those areas considered in northeastern colorado. i've spoken on the senate floor about the difficult times that these farmers are facing outside of the context of natural disasters. when times with already tough, though, seeing your land and cattle operation burned up in a prairie fire makes things worse. it's during these times in agriculture whether it is the impact of fire or low commodity prices that we're reminded for the need of effective leadership. i was pleased when the chamber came together to confirm sonny purdue as our secretary of agriculture. senators on both sides of the aisle recognize that supporting our nation's farmers and ranchers is not a partisan issue. it is my hope that we can support secretary perdue to confirm the rest he have -- the rest of his team. whenever it is an f.s.a. issue or a situation relating to trained how we're going to address low commodity price, the secretary of agriculture needs a team around him. congress must work with secretary perdue to address thi
