why was it important for american agriculture? so as i said, there was sort of a sense there's a labor shortage during world war two. and you should know it first. and this was the idea to be a program. so you had the u.s. government and the mexican government would get together and they would say, we need this. many workers in the united states. we'll recruit them in mexico and we'll bring them into the united states. but they can only work for the set of their contract for six months, three months, a year, and then they're going to go back to mexico. so it's not meant to be an immigration program. it's meant to be a labor program. and you you know, at first the u.s. government was very skeptical of this program. they said a couple of things. first, all the labor department the labor department was worried. they said, wait a sec, i'm going to bring in all these workers from mexico. isn't that going to bring wages down? you know, if we're actually bringing in all these workers to come in specifically to do low wage agricultural wo

you actually have a situation in american agriculture today where you've got record gross cash receipts and a reduction in inflation-adjusted net income. that's the impact of inflation. mr. president, eight days, eight days. that's how long it took president biden to completely erase any of the supposed deficit reduction included in the democrats' so-called inflation reduction act. on august 24, eight days after signing the inflation reduction act into law, president biden announced that with a stroke of his pen he would be forgiving $10,000 in student loan debt, $20,000 for pell grant recipients, and taking other costly measures on student loans. the committee for a responsible federal budget, which incidentally is where treasury secretary janet yellen served prior to joining the biden administration, they estimate that altogether the president's student loan changes will cost anywhere from $440 billion to $600 billion over the next decade. the penn wharton budget model suggested it could be even worse than that, with a total cost over ten years exceeding, exceeding $1 trillion. now, m

american agriculture producers are hurting, not only from the skyrocketing input costs that comes with inflation but also lower morale that comes with heat, drought, thin margins and a broken supply chain. in 2023, congress must re-authorize the farm bill with american families at the front of their mind. i will be back on the floor to deliver another installment of my farm bill impact series and how like more programs and titles within the bill that i believe congress must understand and support to ensure that agriculture thrives in america. the people who feed, fuel, and clothe us all deserve our unwavering support. they also deserve a robust safety net in the farm bill and workable solutions to the inflation crisis before it's too late. thank you, mr. speaker. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from washington, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise to celebrate the lives of two outstanding eighth district students. one passed away at the age of 94. carmen was a pioneering figure in the fight against polio, a tireless c

>> well, the productivity of african agriculture is only a quarter of american agriculture, so by working with those farmers to get them seeds that are better adapted to the weather where they live and improving the crops that are typical there that are often very different from rich world crops, getting them advice, we can raise that productivity. and so africa's not a gigantic food importer and they're able to deal with the challenges of population growth and climate change. >> yeah, that was an interesting part of your report. you write about the hybrid corn or magic seeds. how does that work? >> well, the seeds that we have can be improved dramatically, and in fact in the u.s., the corn seeds are constantly being improved. there's a gigantic market there. in the 1970s, what was called the green revolution more than doubled the productivity of rice, wheat, and corn, and yet we never did the right work on the seeds to make that increase available in africa. and so it clearly can be done. they're having a drought now. you know, the pandemic disrupted their food systems. and so they end u

is like, oh you're going to kill american agriculture. we need those pesticides to be able to raise crops to feed the country. he also included noise control the preservation of historic buildings the sighting of power plants to make sure those were done in environmental responsible way. ocean dumping regulations was something else she saw it and in water wanted to greatly expand what our treatment grant programs so that you could improve the or give give communities who had water treatment plants or many who didn't who were just dumping raw sewage into rivers and and and in some cases the ocean the money to build the water treatment to reduce those. dumping of that stuff right into the ocean. so that was kind of he set out as environmental agenda if you will for 1972. and again, we saw a lot of action in the congress and with president nixon the marine mammal protection act was was passed in 1972. it was introduced by representative edward garmass from maryland again a hugely important. bill and law to protect marine mammals it prohibite

american agriculture increased dramatically. this year will be the record here in terms of gross arm receipt, topline revenues in agriculture, highest ever 14% increase over last year yet will show inflation adjusted income reduction of 1%. highest received ever historically yet a reduction inflation adjusted cash. when you look at cost of fertilizers in 2020, 84% and the cost of fuel has gone up 35% since 2020, he look at these increases what cost to reduce prophecy and you can see why dropped the chain the impact inflation has felt by the american consumer, american families paying higher prices at the grocery store. this is an example of the complete split screen you see in this country between the white house celebrating taking the victory lap down there this afternoon and the american people feeling the reality left by the policies of this administration who still don't get it and continue to celebrate tax increases, the amount of spending they are doing and inflation continues to choke the american people. >> inflation num

i was at american farm bureau at the time, there was no discussion with the agriculture industry or engaging anyone that would have firsthand experience with farming practices. while saying it protected the family farm exemption, it is completely false. and the proposed language that limited the structure so if i worked on my dad's farm, i no longer could work, the legal structure in today's farming makes any difference of my dad's care about my health and safety. also i mentioned my nephew in my testimony, he lives 5 miles from my dad's farm, he has worked with my dad and hopes to be a farmer. under that proposal because he didn't do with my dad for 30 days at least he would not be covered under parental exemption. similarly for the student loan exemption, limited and restricted which of the hazardous occupations it applied to and basically only then providing that learning ability for driving a tractor and there was an exemption but handling animals. a sample that restricted many by animal, by cattle, they take care of that heard it including health and vaccination schedule they wouldn't h

i was at american farnborough federation at the time. there was no discussion before that proposal came out with the egg industry engaging anyone there would have first-hand experience with farming practices. while singapore checked the family farm exemption it is completely false. the proposed language it limited the structure so that if i worked on my dad's farm in the farm was an llc i could no longer work. the legal structure in today's farming makes any difference of my dad's a care about my health and safety. also, i mentioned my nephew in my testimony. he lives a 5 miles to my dad's farm. he has worked with my dad and again hopes to be a farmer. under that proposal because he did not live with my dad for 30 days at least, he would not be covered under the redemption. for the learner redemption limits and restricted which of the hazardous occupation the student trent student learner applied to. basically only then providing that learning ability to drive a tractor and there is an exemption for elevations above . but handling animal

before, that i was at the american farm bureau federation. and all of these positions, my portfolio has included agricultural labor and farm safety issues. let me begin by noting that i'm testifying today in my personal capacity and not on behalf of any client. i was one of the young people that we are here to talk about today. i grew up on a multi generational family farm in rural nebraska. i worked side by side with my dad and my mom and my two older sisters. and the first to admit that farm work is hard, it is dirty, it's hot and it's sometimes dangerous. i drove tracker just with tables in the harvest, i rode horses, i corralled cattle, i've had bucket calves and i fixed down fence. i cut and sprayed we'd. to, some these tasks may seem unfamiliar or scary or even unsafe. but to me, they are completely second nature. we can all agree, it is critically important to ensure that anyone working in agriculture is safe. farmers are committed to offering jobs that are skill level appropriate we'll still giving people invaluable hands on experienc

he's doubling down on his energy policies, he's killing american energy and agriculture. kennedy: yeah. and telling people it's all in their heads. all at the same time, his press secretary, pretty rich of her to say, hey, this is actually great news. the president has saved us from a global economic meltdown. but there are a lot of bad things to come if inflation keeps going in the direction it's been in. it is not transitory, and now we are going to see jobs and housing affected with these massive rate hikes. what are you expecting to see from the fed? >> that's a great question. i mean, it's certainly going to be 75 basis points, it could be 100. but at the same time, they're also doing quantitative tightening. don't underestimate that that impact, this double barrel of interest rates going on and the quantitative tightening as well. we've been doing. quantitative easing since barack obama, so this is -- all these chickens are coming home to roost now, and i'm afraid it's going to be a little bit of a hard landing. kennedy: yeah, i think you're absolutely right. and i

in major american cities. for example, in 1820, there an estimated, by one estimate at 20,000 hogs living in the settled portions of manhattan. 20,000 hogs roaming the streets of manhattan. that's one hog for every five people. and was the case hogs roaming through the streets of the city rooting freely until in the middle decades, the 19th century middle class gentrifiers began to restrict urban in the name of health. last week we studied the rising and the growing inequality year of the gilded age. the last few decades of the 1800s as the united states on a grand scale after the civil war. cities amassed more and more economic clout. they became economic hubs, for example, rural people could now buy urban goods through the mail. last week, on sunday afternoon, i ordered two books on amazon and they showed up at my doorstep the next day. it was almost as if jeff bezos was standing outside my house just ready to give me whatever i. that's impressive. but it's worth noting that sears got their first based in ch

things like agriculture, and landscape gardens, and architecture, and royal courts. so i have a question for you. which of these different subjects do you think that jefferson thought was worth great attention for an american. there are several up there that he wanted to explore and that he was interested in but he thought one in particular was really worth great attention. what. agriculture was one that was right up there, but not one for that particular quote. anything else that he is known for? >> architecture? >> architecture, absolutely. so we will give you afterwards this nice little in pursuit of jefferson bookmark for your reading pleasure. architecture was one that he really was fascinated by. a subject he was fascinated by, and something that he wanted people to explore. so this guy, it really spoke to me and i think it came at an interesting point in my life. i saw a few parallels. i don't want to overdo the parallels but, i was about the same age as jefferson was when i came across this travel guide. it was about a decade ago. so i was pushing 40, about t

the private sector, civil society agriculture fled turkey academia. you know for example the rockefeller foundation and the american heart association are expanding research into food health and health equity. food and nutrition is investing $2.5 billion in improving technologies pioneering new ways in improving nutrition. today we are announcing over $8 billion commitment from 100 different organizations to help return goals. [applause] and i firmly believe the work should be bipartisan. there shouldn't be anything partisan about any of this. [applause] just as it was when president nixon convened this conference and senator george mcgovern and bob dole transferred america's role in reducing hunger in america and around the world. this work on hundred nutrition and physical health is critical as well as her mental health as well. the key seller that i called for in my state of the union address again bipartisan. this is something that we should all rally the whole country to work on. we have a global food crisis. last week united nations talked about

but one on the tariffs was to raise tariffs on, imports of agricultural goods that undercut american farmers, and therefore arguably undercut their prosperity. well, the whole thing got out of hand. what started off as supposedly a kind of a focused a adjustment of the tariff to give farmers some further protection. whether you think that's a good right idea or not, that was the intent. it turned into a general revision by all sorts, with all sorts of industries lobbying and wanting that. so the outcome eventually, after and months of haggling in the congress was something called the smoot hawley tariff, named after reed smoot, utah senator, republican and willis hawley of oregon in the house. hoover was not that great a fan of tariffs privately but what he wanted was get this mess out of the log rolling in congress where you'll all vote for something that's important to your district if you vote for me and so everybody was sort of trading in the congress and all the rates were being raised and so it became of a carnival and it caused a lot of public commotion. so congress narrowly i

one in almost six americans. and this applies directly to the people that you met, to the jobs that you took -- for example, being a walmart associate. talk about that and the woman you wrote about and where she is today. >> yeah, i mean, one of the surprises to me -- and it's not a surprise anymore because a lot more research has been done -- is how many walmart employees depend on some kind of government program to supplement their low wages and thetally inadequate health insurance, whicmost people can't afford anyway. in fact, when you -- i noticed that when i went through the orientation for my job at walmart, and there was a whole table full of new hires sitting around, you know, that they, the walmart people asked to see whether anybody here might be eligible for tanf, for example, temporary assistance to needy families, because they're kind of depending on that government -- those government supplements to keep people going. you're not going to do too well on just your walmart pay. and then at another time

secretary of agriculture hasn't done enough to help american farmers get aid and relief here, we have all this aid for other regions of the world. >> ashley: john, why do you think, you mentioned chinese buying up farmland, they are using it people have said to spy on the military bases because they are close to military organizations. why do you think the biden administration is not pushing back on that? >> i'm not sure why, i can tell you i'm at farm auctions and two people are buying, china and bill gates, buying up land for 15 to 20,000 an acre. my adjoining land was sold to microsoft. when farmers lose their land, you lose your heritage and history, not like getting fired from mcdonalds and you get another job, once that farmer loses his farm, he becomes a broken man and broken spirit. my message to the president is do the right thing for america's farmers, make sure that we get the aid and relief we need here, they have money for distressed farmers that haven't went out to american farmers. we made money readily and swiftly available for farmers in u.k., we can't for farmers in
