ms. stabenow: thank you, madam president. for more than two years i've been working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass my sixth farm bill, the third one that i've either been chair or ranking member of as chair of the senate committee on agriculture and nutrition and forestry. i met with farmers across the country who have made clear that crop insurance is their number-one risk management tool. farmers who made clear that a farm safety net must be the backbone of support for all farmers and not just a handful of mostly southern commodities. i met with families who are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet, as food insecurity in our country continues to grow. and i've met with rural communities who are struggling to access the basic things they need to thrive, like access to health care, including mental health, child care, clean drinking water, and high-speed internet that we are all working to address. the farm bill has always been the place where we put the power of the federal government at work in
