his leadership is needed right now at the usda. he has strong bipartisan support. and i think it's very unfortunate that his nomination has gotten caught up in another issue. and i'm hopeful that we could ask our colleague, our senate colleague to choose to address that in another way without getting in the way of critical leadership on disaster assistance and conservation and critical issues that the usda needs to have his leadership on. so i'm -- mr. northey has strong bipartisan support, should be advanced quickly. we need his leadership skills. and i'm going to continue to do everything i can to work with my colleagues to be able to make sure he has the opportunity to serve farmers and ranchers as part of the usda leadership. thank you, mr. president. mrs. ernst: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from iowa. mrs. ernst: thank you. i would like to thank the ranking member from agriculture for joining us here on the floor today. i appreciate her great bipartisan work on the ag committee. i am pleased to be a member of that committee. and it is trul

well now the usda says it has unique way to deal with them. >> this was the scene tuesday evening asusands of crows descended on downtown trenton. coming to rest in the trees outside several state office buildings. >> our estimates are roughly 20 to 30,000 birds, um, that have been coming in each night. >> reporter: huge flocks of crows have been coming here since october to roost as the crows arrived just after sunset tuesday, usda experts were waiting. they have a plan to try and disperse them. >> our goal is to not allow them to settle into the roost, um, but to harass them out before they get into the area. >> reporter: the crows leave behind lots of waste on bus stops, sidewalks, cars and the parking lots here. there's a concern about a number of issues. from health to safety. >> there's feces accumulation and damage. there's also disease concerns. we have, um, helipads nearby. helicopters coming in could be a bird strike. >> reporter: tuesday night, the u.s. da used some hand-held pyrotechnics, lasers and crow distress recordings to get the massive flocks to disperse into small

when i was with usda we had this process and often would ask a question when we would get upset and we would get calls from capitol hill saying, "why are you letting in oranges from this particular country or even beef from a different country." it is like, well, part of what we were trying to do and part of what we need to do is set an example, too. so if we're going to demand that china follows certain protocols and procedures and science-based approaches, setting that example gives us a little bit of leg up when we are trying to -- i say we, but the collective we is trying to get them to quit using nontariff trade barriers and pseudo science to hold things out. >> is there a connection -- you know, you guys mention a lot of the foreign-based regulatory efforts. is there also a link to what the u.s. does? are there bigger factors at play with trade policy other than traditional trade barriers, tariffs, et cetera? you touched on that lisa and kent as well, but what happens here at home domestically, the regulatory environment, is there an impact on trade? >> i absolutely think so. you

those programs have been going in usda. if we want to talk about something that works and helps people in a place where they don't need nutrition benefits because they are in a place where they are able to get a good job, those seems to be great investments that actually we get a good return on. i worry because now we're -- the focus of this budget seems to be just on cutting snap, putting people in a vulnerable position. approximately 44% of people who rely on snap have at least one person in the family who is working. this isn't about people who aren't working. there are many cases people are working. just don't make enough to get by. in the meantime i guess we're saying we should punish them by taking away their access to food. i actually think that would have a terrible impact on families across our country. i'm also trying to understand the proposal that families receiving $90 or more per month would receive a portion of their benefits in the form of usda foods package. something you talked about as a blue apron-type p

what are the discussions when it comes to working with the usda and protecting agriculture? >> that was a major omission on my part for the lead federal agencies and threats to agriculture livestock and they play a very preventable because that is a critical commodity in terms of the commodity in the population's needs. so they are a part of that team and a core member of the team helping to evaluate the threats to agriculture and developing approaches either to forestall or respond to events that threaten u.s. ag. .. .. >> to my understanding, it is just about there but i don't have the latest. >> the reason being we are hoping to use that with the 2019 budget. >> thank you madam chair one final? the interagency cooperation which i am sure we all would agree is essential to defeating the networks those proliferation networks. in terms of this mission, is there sufficient cooperation between the intel community department of energy and department of agriculture with statutory improvements we could help you with to make sure the mission? >> i don't see any statutory obstacle

snap as well as usda's commodity distribution programs support agriculture and lessen the effects of poverty on our most vulnerable citizens. in advance of the next farm bill, we will continue to identify ways to work alongside state and local organizations to help provide safe and nutritious food for those who need it most. mr. speaker, a healthy diet for many americans may have nothing to do with commitment, but rather accessibility. limited access to supermarkets and groceries stores with fresh nutritious food can be a challenge in both rural and urban communities. these are called food dez iters. this is a particular concern for snap which intends to provide nutrition to millions of americans. according to usda to qualify as a low access community, at least 500 people or 33% of the population must reside more than a mile from a supermarket or large grocery store. for rural areas the distance is more than 10 miles. it's difficult to eat healthy when the easiest store to get to primarily provides packaged and processed food. snap recipients may find a local market convenient but it
