We fully expect to be a key player in the next farm bill, ... could possibly result in a specific proposal. |
We want to send a signal as to what the farm bill will be so that producers can make decisions. |
We will not settle for a package that does not increase real market access. To be frank, a new global pact is in jeopardy unless Europe shows still more flexibility, |
We're going to show you some fun homework, |
We're not going to give up. We're going to do everything we can to bring it to a successful conclusion, |
We're not writing the farm bill here. |
What a sad, sad day. |
While this is a not food safety issue, this is a unacceptable failure on our part to meet the requirements of our agreements with trading partner Japan. As I said, we take this matter very seriously, recognizing the importance of beef export markets. We are acting swiftly and firmly. |
