usda provided a list of crops and usda has been unclear if they can be planted for cover or after the late planting period. while farmers are waiting for water to subside, they want details and they are forced to make decisions on rumors and heightened uncertainty. my two questions for doctor johansson . will the usda provide flexibility for farmers to plant later than normal for cover and be eligible for msp and similarly hay is expected to be in short supply due to the wet weather. will federal crop insurance provide flexibility to allow earlier grazing of forager hay without penalty? >> i mentioned earlier to the ranking members questions that we didn't want to affect planting decisions with the new program and of course, complicating that is the situation you mentioned with regard to have late planting and that is affecting much of the corn crop as well as other countries. all of that will contribute to likely higher than normal and prevent plant number. the crop insurance program does anticipate prevent plant and there are a lot of conditions and provisions available to producers

that's why i believe we need to expand existing frams such as usda's reconnect program. this program allows communities to apply for federal funding to strengthen and expand their regional broadband infrastructure. but the current scope of these programs is insufficient to meet the scale of the challenge and demand. in the first round of reconnect program grant application this is year, usda saw a near three to one ratio in application requested versus the funding available. my amendment would increase the funding for the usda reconnect -- ram from 550 to to 605 $605 million. i'm proud to lead this bipartisan effort. this extra $55 million is not the magic solution but demonstrates one of our priorities here in congress is to keep our rural communities strong. when rural america is strong, it makes our country as a whole stronger. by hoping our rural neighbors close the broadband gap, we are allowing the rural communities to attract new businesses, spur economic growth, and give their kids an equal cuenttunte to succeed in a global hyper connected economy. i reserve the

usda has been a key collaborator with epa on agricultural production practices and we appreciate the leadership you and your agency provide on this important topic. >> thank you for convening this meeting again. i recall a little over a year ago prior to being codified in the 2018 farm bill this agency was the lead agency with the department of interior and affirmative commerce and department of agriculture met to go to the consultation process that you described. in today's environment there are a lot of people with a lot of scientific data and all this needs to be taken into consideration but it is very important for citizens at large, those concerned about the environment and is concerned about production and the use of pesticides be informed through a one federal decision and the frustrating part of meeting the consultation is when people go and do their own it makes it difficult. we i think have an obligation and expectation our scientists work together where there is scientific disagreement that it be peer-reviewed and understood and acknowledged in that way so hopefully codify

usda has been a key collaborator with epa on agricultural production practices. and we appreciate your leadership on this important topic. secretary purdue: thank you, alexandra and administrator. thank you for convening this meeting. i recall a little over a year ago prior to being codified in the 2018 farm bill. we met to smooth out the consultation process that you described. obviously in today's environment , there are a lot of people with a lot of scientific data and all of this needs to be taken into consideration. but it's important for the to be informedge through one federal decision. the frustrating part of meeting the consultation is when people go and do their own, it makes it difficult. i think we have an obligation an expectation that our scientists work together. where there is scientific disagreement, it will be peer-reviewed and understood and acknowledged in that way. hopefully, codifying the consultation procedure process will enable us to do that in a manner that will achieve a consensus report and report to the public for the very reasons adm

there's report language urging the usda to look at carbon markets for agriculture, supporting the usda's regional climate hubs and encouraging the usda to look at other opportunities to support farmers dealing with the effects of climate change. lastly, the bill includes language preventing the usda from relocating -- mr. mcgovern: i yield the gentlelady another one minute. ms. pingree: thank you so much. appreciate that, mr. chair. lastly, the bill includes language preventing the usda from relocating the national institute of food and agriculture and the economic research service. i am deeply disappointed that the administration is moving forward with this ill-conceived plan, and i will continue fighting on this on behalf of their employees. i urge my colleagues to support and i e for h.r. 3055, yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. the gentleman from georgia is recognized. mr. woodall: thank you, madam speaker. at this time i'd like to yield three minutes to one of our young leaders, the gentleman from minnesota, mr. stauber. the speaker pro t

the usda lacks the legal or the budget authority to carry out this relocation. usda and g.s.a. have violated the real estate procurement process. further this move is not in the best interest of the taxpayers. don't just take my word for it. the usda office of inspector general initiated a review of the relocation for the same reasons. in november of 2018 that review is on fwoing. the relocation is about ideology and politics. nothing more. the decision to relocate was made before any cost benefit analysis was done of the consequences. the relocation is about the trump administration's long documented antipathy to nonpartisan career federal employees. and the objective research they produce and fund. the employees of the national institute of food and agriculture and the economic research service are being punished for doing their jobs. the job congress mandated. but the country, especially the agricultural community, is also being punished. as the union of concerned scientists noted, when the location was selected and i will read what they saiding the damage was already done b

. >> this is a controversy blowing up at the usda.is over secretary sonny purdue move to reorganize this agency and purdue meeting with employees, you'll see the video turning their backs on him. he said this will make the department run for officially but the hundreds of usda workers impacted, they are not buying it. and here is why. the career researchers in these two units, it is the economic research service unit that is ers and the national institute of food and agriculture and nifa, they produce research that contradicts the administration. president trump's imposition on climate change and crops and livestock. the u.s. agriculture, so one watchdog group even said that this is just the administration's back door way to cut off the staff and resources to the groups. [ technical difficulties ] well here is how purdue replayed here in a statement. he defended the department decision. he is saying this is going to improve usda ability to attracts highly qualified staff with the cost of living who be cheaper and put resources where a

the usda chief scientist from the obama and george w.ministrations told congress that a relocation like that would set usda's research back five to ten years because of all the specialized employees the agency would lose. so, that's one thing to know, the trump administration has been waging a sort of quiet war on government scientists, particularly at this one agency, because they've been producing quality work. that nevertheless makes the trump administration's policies look bad. but the other thing you should know is that we are seeing an unusual and interesting fight-back by the scientists who are being squeezed out by this operation inside this one agency. the scientists inside the agriculture department have very recently scrambled to unionize. they have formed a union. in part, so they can try to fight back against these decisions from trump's agriculture secretary. they have rallied to drum up support for their cause. they have lined up support among members of congress to try to help them block what the trump administration is t

and even with this announcement of china potentially buying more product, according to the usda, that market for soybean farmers won't recover until 2026 or 2027. they're losing markets the longer this goes on so how much damage can america stomach? >> well, look that may be. i don't want to forecast that. we'll see if china steps in to fill the void. our farmers have been terrific. they're patriots, they support the president's dealings with china. strongest president we've ever had in u.s.-china relations. china's problems, you know, i.p. theft, forced the transfers of technology, problems with getting into cloud services, problems with tariffs, problems with non-tariff barriers, all these things are going to have to be addressed and that's the only way it will helphe's a verg relationship, margaret, as you may know. that has to be fixed. it's not going to be they have many more remedies and correctives to make and that's what president trump said in his news conference and elsewhere in this recent trip to japan. now, having said that, with respect to the farmers, we are doing the b

it would provide usda the flexibility needed so that hay, rs can go in and graze, or chop cover crops and do that before november 1. moving that date from november 1 to september 1 could make a real impact. the forage we need will come from those acres. it will come from that flexibility. already, this bill has received 27 co-sponsors and have been endorsed by 17 national ag groups. i look forward to working with them, to working with the agriculture committee, to working with house leadership to move this concept forward. we also have another option. usda could do this administratively and we continue to discuss with them the opportunity to get this success in that way. thank you for the time, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from georgia, mrs. cbath, for five minutes. mrs. mcbath: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for five minutes. mr. speaker, i rise today to urge action to end the public health crisis of gun vio
