Every year, things get outsourced to other countries, including China and Brazil. Every year, it gets harder and harder for most of our farmers to make a living where they can support their family, pass their fourth, fifth, and sixth generation farmer ranch onto their sons or daughters, it's getting harder and harder.

It's also getting harder and harder for new Americans, men or women, to get into the business of farming. It's almost impossible. There's not enough opportunity for capital to inject, to buy a new tractor, to buy the land, to figure out how to become part of this great historical legacy profession in American history.

So we've got a lot of things, A, here at the department we need to really, really be refocused on, and we are. But also, there's some massive policy questions that we've got to think through. And then kind of the final big priority is these farmers don't want all these checks. I mean, they take them. It's the way they stay in the black and the way they keep farming.

It's a national security issue because we lose more farms. We buy more food from overseas. That's not good for the country for a lot of reasons. But at the same time, they would like to be able to sell their product at a profit and not have to worry about the government at the end of the day.

So these are all big policy questions that hopefully we expand markets, the president's realigning the entire world economy right now, putting America first. All of those things combined, I believe, will lead us into a new era of prosperity where we can hopefully solve for most of that.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah, that's been a pretty big priority of ours. And within the first hour of being sworn in on February 13th, 50 letters went out to all 50 governors in the country. And in those letters, we talked about SNAP. and innovation and send me your waivers because the way the program works, it moves through the states.

And so, and I love that anyway, like why would the federal government be telling everyone what to do? We want in the founders best vision of the 10th amendment to allow the states to build those programs. But within that was why are taxpayer dollars

Why are taxpayer dollars, billions of taxpayer dollars, being spent on sugary drinks and junk food to go into our supplemental nutrition program for our food insecure populations, our lower income populations, when, to your point, the backside is an obesity and chronic disease epidemic unlike any developed country in the history of the world has ever seen.

74% of our adolescents, our teenagers, would not pass the military readiness test of our United States military right now today. 75%. So again, talk about national security, talk about all of the things. This is a massive, massive challenge facing America.
