under current law the farmer or the farmer spouse or brotheror the farmer sister or adult children or their spouses can all receive up to $125,000 in subsidies regardless of whether they live or work on the farm. the house bill would expand that circle and that family tree of subsidies to now include cousins, nieces and nephews. it's like putting ancestry.com in charge of our subsidy system . by eliminating this means test by now extending the family tree of folks who can receive subsidies to include cousins and nieces and nephews, the house bill goes in the wrong direction. if your review is only farmers who actually need help and who live and work on the farm -- >> the house process was the process. there are many amendments that were not considered. if you could comment on that what you think the senate needs to do. >> certainly. we are always supportive of a more robust process when it comes to forming bl policy. in the house process, if you want to call it that, for creating the farmville we had a closed process. a lot of the headlines are about the democrats walking away from th

under current law, the farmer, the farmer's spouse, the farmer's brother, the farmer's sister, the farmer's children, their spouses can all receive up to $125,000 in subsidies regardless of whether they live on the farm. the house bill would expand that circle, that family tree of subsidies to include cousins, nieces, and nephews. it is like putting ancestry.com in charge of our farm subsidy system. in both of those ways, by limiting the means test and by extending the family tree of folks who can receive subsidies to include cousins and nieces and nephews, the house bill goes in the wrong direction. if your view is that only farmers who actually need help and to live and work on the farm should be the beneficiary of these farm safety programs. daren: one of the biggest weaknesses of the house process was the process. many amendments were not considered. could you comment on that and what you think the senate needs to do? josh: certainly. at taxpayers for common sense we are always supportive of a more open process when it comes to forming public policy. in the house process, if you want to

one contract farmer -- our contract farmers should not have to live like this. they should not have to be afraid that they will be retaliated against for engaging in lawful activities like speaking with members of congress or the usda. or for joining together in producer associations. madison's "federalist papers" -- "federalist paper" number 50 talks about this idea of free association and yet these contract farmers are afraid of doing that. the second amendment i'm filing to help contract farmers would require transparency in how these large corporate integrators calculate the payments they make to contract farmers. the payment mechanism used by poultry companies and meet producers to pay contract farmers are deliberately opaque. they're deliberately difficult to understand how those payments are made. not only does this lack of transparency make it difficult for farmers to make wise business decisions but allows integrators to manipulate the farmers' compensation. it is a practice that's despicable. it's not a free and open and transparent market that we all

farmers in our state o minnesota that means native american farmers and latino farmers and veteran farmers to make sure partners from diverse backgrounds have an ability to access usda services. i want to thank senator heitkamp and senator van hollen for helping. as a ranking member of the rule development subcommittee, i'm very happy this bill include strong energy title that strengthens successful energy programs from the last farm bill like the role energy for america program. colleague, senator, char has als provided great leadership along with senator ernst and i'm very happy to see that included. i would also just like to note chairman roberts, i'm very happy for the inclusion of our rule health liaison and the managers package. i worked on that with senator rounds and also senator jones. this will really encourage the collaboration we know we need between usda and health and human services to address the specific healthcare needs of rural communities. i'm very happy to see that included. thank you again chair roberts and ranking member and i look forward all look forward to continui

market and local food processing and help our farmers sell to their neighbors. just as the farm bill provides a safety net to farmers, it also provides a safetypr net for our families. we know nutrition assistance provides a critical lifeline for families struggling to make ends meet. the good news is, according to the congressional budget office, nutrition programs are saving $80 billion more than expected because the economynd is getting better and fewer people need temporary help. we hop focus on strengthening nutrition assistance the right way by working on a bipartisan basis. we improve the integrity of snap and created new job training opportunities and public-private partnerships while preserving critical food access. we are reducing paperwork for senior citizens on fixed income. we are improving the quality of life in small-town communities. access to high-speed internet is one of the top concerns we hear about in rural america. in 2018, having internet access is not a luxury. it's a necessity. high school students need to do their homework. we need to u

our farmers up against it are farmers and ranchers. commodity prices are low. they face a lot of challenges, right? so we have to try to move this bill to help them help reduce the uncertainty. they are the most productive in the world. no question they can compete. the point i like to make is good farm policy benefits every single american every single day because we have the highest quote, lowest cost food supply in the world. passing this bill doesn't help farmers and ranchers, this helps every american. every american benefits from what we do here. highest quality, lowest cost food supply in the world benefitting every single american every single day. not to mention all the economic benefits our farmers and ranchers create, whether it is jobs, favorable balance of trade, you name it. absolutely leading the world in feeding the world. just mentioning real quick the priorities. you know, things that we have laid out that are vital. and this builds on the existing farm bill. we're not trying to recreate the wheel. we're trying to improve the farm bill we have

in our state of minnesota, that means native american farmers and hmung farmers and veteran farmers to make sure they have an ability to access usda services. i want to thank the senators for helping with that work. as a ranking member of the rural development energy subcommittee, i am very happy this bill also includes strong energy title that strengthens energy programs like the rural energy for america program. my colleague, senator klobuchar, has also provided great leadership on this, along with senator exrnst, and i'm very happy to see that included. i also would just like to note, chairman roberts, that i'm very happy for the inclusion of our rural health liaison legislation in the managers package today. i worked on that with senator rounds and senator jones. this will encourage the collaboration we know we need between usda and health and human services to address the specific health care needs of rural communities. i'm very happy to see that included. thank you again. chair roberts and ranking member stabe stabenow, i look forward to continuing with this bill. >> i thank the

for some of the starting farmers and smaller farmers. i'm doing a sesk agreement to hovan amendment one. it would increase the loan limits from the current camp of $1.39 million. to $1.75 million. this would amend would also increase limits, lifting the cap on direct ownership from 300,000 to 600,000 and on direct operating from 300,000 to 400,000. i note that this amendment also includes important language that i worked on with senator hoven to increase the data we have on borers and participation rate. i asked my fellow members is that in the end, we know how important this is and we went into it without intention. >> further debail on the second degree amendment. >> all signify by saying no. the ayes have the committee now. is the hoven amendment. by senator klobuchar, all those in favor of that amendment, signify by saying aye? opposed no? the ayes have it. are there further amendments to title 5? take into consideration of this bill that we go back to title 12. or is it title 11. zpli think senator grassley wanted to say something.

in my state, this means native american farmers, mung, somali farmers and veterans farmers. today as our farmers face deep uncertainty around tariffs, this bill includes bipartisan provisions to increase funding for usda trade promotion activities. international markets are essential to the profitability of many farmers, including in minnesota. this bill also helps to protect native food products from fraught lent imposters on the market. for example, some food businesses are trying to minimum mick or replicate unique food products like minnesota wild rice and then sell them on the marketplace as traditional food items. developing new international markets through frayed promotion is something minnesota farmers and leaders in indian country have been calling for and we do it in this bill. aboutas ranking member of the rl development and energy subcommittee, i am very happy that this bill has a strong energy title. i introduced legislation outlining a road map for this title in the map bill, and i led a bipartisan coalition of my colleagues urging the committee to fund and st

this more scale farmers reach was small scale farmers need access to land water and to markets. then they can even supply cities with a population of more than a million in africa that's still the reality seventy percent of food for the continent's megacities comes from the surrounding areas. but at the moment small farmers can barely live off their earnings. organize they can negotiate better prices. with a bit of support they can set up warehouses for potatoes rice and maize. that way they're not forced to sell their produce right after the harvest to the first buyer who comes along. all of this helps them improve their income and feed their families better than big investments in huge farms. it's the corporations and the big trading countries who dominate the food system and hence have the power and they have the power because they are the ones who established the rules they are the ones who also do the the regulation it deck is really stacked in favor of the corporations and against the small scale producers who are actually the ones who feed the world. small scale farmers f

our farmers against it right now our farmers and ranchers. they'rthey are the most productn the world no question they can compete. the point i'd like to make is good farm policy benefits every single american every single day because th we have highest-qualy lowest-cost food supply in the world sohe it doesn't just help farmers and ranchers, it helps every american because every single day every single american benefits from what we do here. highest quality, best cost food supply in the world benefiting every single american every single day not to mention all the economic benefits to farmers and ranchers create whether it ise jobs, you name it absolutely leaving the world. just to mention real quick things we laid out their vital and this builds on the existing farm bill they are not trying to re-create the world we are trying t to improve the farm bil that we had and that is a good thing so it starts out with crop insurance john thune and others have talked about how we all work to improve those things. the agricultural research we are doi

they left farmers short. however, the drought monitor classified that same area as not dry enough to trigger eligibilty for the livestock forge program for those who provide assistance to those who use t land f grazing. the federal assistance is a problem. and the ranchers i met with in april let me know just how much of a problem it can be. and so i came back to washington d worked with my staff to develop legislation to improve the accuracy of the drought monitor and to require the department of agriculture to use consistent precipitation monitoring data across its programs. and i'm happy to report that my drought monitor legislation was adopted as part of the farm bill that is about before the -- that is before the senate today. mr. president, i'm also proud that the farm bill includes authorization for a program i proposed that would strengthen soil health while reducing farmer's crop insurance costs. all farmers are familiar with the c.r.p. which provides incentives for farmers to take environmentally se

we proudly support dairy farmers. unfortunately, the conservative opposition has indicated quite clearly that they call for the end of supply management. he called dairy farmers nefarious millionaires. you can't have it both ways. you either support the dairy farmers or you don't. canada's farmers locally produce -- >> the honorable member. >> canada's farmers locally produce the highest quality milk, eggs, and poultry in the world, maintaining canada's system of supply management is critical to the farm families who make up the backbone of my community. these families were worried when the prime minister went on american television and said he was willing to be flexible when negotiating with the united states on supply management. just how much access to the canadian market was the prime minister prepared to give away in order to get a deal with donald trump? [applause] mr. speaker, i can assure my colleague that on this side of the house our government fully understands the important of supply management. as i indic

the farmers all over india. will be under great crisis they are facing the terrible situation for the last forty years in fact for the last twenty years or so ever since the new liberal policies began in the country. more than three hundred thousand farmers are committed to say in the last twenty years in india. most of them have been forced to come here to say because of the problem of indebtedness very having tremendous loans which they cannot repay and the second important point that they are facing is a completely collapsing crisis for grabs yet they are growing but and that is why the last nearly two years. story in the land i just interject and bring you back to the politics of the situation because of course you have several important state elections this year and of course you have a general election next year how can the farm is use their political power in a democracy. yes certainly vidia struggles that are going on di paolo the government is slowly slipping away that you can see it very clearly in the

the farmers protesters told. there is no place for garlands in our protest or to moms or that this woman often committee's recommendations should be implemented about the promise she gets fifty percent more than his cost of production the government should give doctors not taken any steps towards a doctor maintenon. and we also heard from d.t. she has a farm in maharashtra and she says the situation for some pharmacies so bad that they have to take drastic measures. it is high time did to me didn't stop exploiting the far most future the difference between did i didn't fall is the farmers to live nor the choice but to end their lives. the pricing system is to be fixed and rita banerjee from kolkata says that up to eighteen thousand farmers commit suicide every year and this is why the strike is necessary to send a strong message. really asking for me two things one is they want to know when is the government has been promising them but hasn't done anything about it and the other thing is with multinationals comin

conventional farmers focus on big profits while organic farmers work in harmony with nature. so why can't the two systems benefit from each other. carlo life it from germany had an experimental farm run by newcastle university in britain he is looking for possible overlaps between conventional and ecological farming but it's a complex field and surprising results are not uncommon combining organic fertilizer with pesticides from conventional farming for example even increases the residue of the weed killers in field crops you can determine the interactions between mineral fertilizers and pesticides if you change to totally organic fertilizers but without abandoning pesticides a few interesting facts come to light for instances when an organic fertilizer is used the past aside content of the produce increases and so in order to enjoy all the benefits of a switch to work and that farming the change over has to be comprehensive in two thousand and nine the organic farming sector was shocked by a report from britain's food standards agency it found no relevant difference between

from where the farmer markers -- farmers market is.rdinance but i serve everybody at the market where i sell apples, 22 miles away but don't have things like marriages. it is our faith that informs us how to treat those who come to our farm with dignity and decency serving customers of many races, religions, cultures and those who identify with the lgbt community. >> a lovely statement the orchard owner has made but he can sell as many donuts and apples and apple cider as he once, and selling the ability to get married on his orchard which he offers to straight couples by not allowing gay couples to participate in the same offering he is discriminating and using religion as a shield to do so. shannon: a federal judge put an injunction in place, forced to let him back into the farmers market while the case is pending. not only that applied to last year, here is what the mayor had to say about this. here is his take. >> if the same thing were held here, from purchasing products at their facility, wanting to sell at our farmers market but

that's one of the aims of the farmers here. several want to go the same way as servio, cultivating small amounts in a sustainable way. servio: at first it was just a dream. and then, it works. and that makes us very happy. it feels like e a real triump. reporter: after this good first harvest, the cocoa beans have to ferment, which takes a combination of time and servio's experience. but for today at least, it's time to relax. host: and now in global snack, we head to vietnam to taste madame thuys' delicious dumplings. reporter: quang binh is a coastal province in vietnam. like everywhere in this cotrtry, pepeople here attatach a lot off importance t to good food.d. and theyey're proud ofof their l delicacies. just r rnd the corner from the rkrket herin d dong i, thehere is a smamall restauranant runy madame t thuy. she serves freshly made banh loc dumplings. they're so popular, the restaurant even has a small production line of workers. the dough is made from tapioca flour and hot water. it's kneaded for 10 minutes and then pr

california farmers, growers are struggling. all of agriculture is struggling, not just one or two commodities. we must have a bill that works across all of our great nation. more than 500 -- 500 organizations representing thousands of agriculture, food, nutrition, hunger, forest fishery, world business, faith-based, research, and academic interests have issued statements supporting this bill. over 500. this is what happens when the senate works in a bipartisan fashion. we're doing just that. this is a good bill that accomplishes what we set out to do. again, to provide certainty and predictability for farmers, families, and rural america. and it is especially timely when we have a trade policy that has a question mark at the end of it. i'd really hope that the president is successful with trade negotiations, with nafta. i think we should take another look at t.p.p. or with china, and the problem with tariffs -- i know they're trying -- i know the administration is trying to send a message, a very strong message, and address the

as well as all of our dairy farmers. the prime minister and the minister of agriculture, the caucus, everyone supports supply management, mr. speaker. we set up the system and we will defend it. >> honorable member from foothills. >> mr. speaker, when it comes to u.s. demands on canada's supply management system, when it's in the united states the prime minister says he's flexible. when he's back here in canada, he says he supports the system. but we know that an offer was made to the americans as part of the nafta negotiations. so my question is, which version of the prime minister is going to be meeting with the canadian dairy farmers this afternoon? is it going to be the one that's using farmers' livelihoods has a bargaining chip? or will he simply recite liberal talking points? >> honorable minister of agriculture. >> we proudly support dairy farmers. unfortunately, the conservative opposition has indicated quite clearly that they call for the end of supply management. he called dairy farmers nefarious millionaires.

many, many farmers, i would say most farmers in kansas no longer earn a living solely by farming. husband, wife, or both have to find off-the-farm income to keep the farm intact. "the wall street journal" indicates that 82% of income for u.s. farm households is expected to come from jobs off the farm this year. i highlight that because it is that struggle that farmers face every year all the time every day to keep the farm intact. i visit with farmers and ranchers on a regular basis, and it's apparent the stress they are encount countering. it's -- encountering. it's taken its toll. many farm families are now stretched to the limit of their financial viability. this week the senate has the opportunity to consider and to vote for legislation that will help address the challenges in rural america. the senate farm bill provides a stable safety net for our farmers and ranchers, protects key management tools, crop insurance in particular, and ensures that continued success -- continued access to credit for producers, particularly for our young farmers, is so important. you cannot borro

talking about this issue the issue of murders of the white farmers and as for these farmers that have been in the headlines i think the issue has been captured by our right sure there's a problem with violent crime but it affects everyone black and white and attempts to frame it as part of a white genocide or divisive and dangerous and other person we did and this is a florist we actually pitched the topic of today show wanting us to sort out the facts from fiction he says what impact do campaigns like this p.r. campaign have on south africa's global standing if countries believe south africa is creating a culture that is resulting in a racially biased for murders could it lead to same actions ben do you want to take that on. yes you had an article in newsweek recently getting that whites should stop panicking about len suggesting that farm where does not happening on a large scale and i started to get hate mail from the right in the us i don't think it's very helpful and i think there are many white televisions who us saying what can we do to make this work and be part of this be par
