We're going to show you some fun homework,
This president has said this has to be a priority for our nation, protecting our food supply from terrorist acts, so he continues to provide the funding that is necessary.
This is a fun approach to addressing the very serious problem of childhood obesity,
This funding will purchase emergency response vehicles, radio gear, warning sirens, improve public safety facilities and upgrade communications systems, ... While these requests were submitted and approved before hurricane Katrina struck, these funds will contribute to rebuilding efforts and to the long-term commitment of the Bush Administration to prepare our nation to respond to emergencies of any kind.
Our poultry industry is very consolidated, unlike that of other countries where chickens are raised in yards and inside homes. Our chickens, turkeys and eggs are raised in very controlled environments.
There are so many commodities in the affected areas, like rice, cotton, sugar cane, cattle and chickens, ... Many grains that are stored can't handle the heat and humidity.
The 2007 farm bill will affect America's entire agricultural community, so I believe our entire agricultural community should have a say in the process. I welcome input from across the nation about what is working and what we can do to improve farm policy.
We don't want this generation of young people to be the first generation that lives fewer years than their parents,
We're not going to give up. We're going to do everything we can to bring it to a successful conclusion,
We are doing everything we can to help our Gulf Coast producers recover from the affects of Hurricane Katrina, ... The assistance announced today is an important component of USDA's efforts and our commitment to help farmers and ranchers rebuild their operations.
We are reassuring our international customers that we expect minimal disruptions,
We want to send a signal as to what the farm bill will be so that producers can make decisions.
Given the severity of the hurricane, the agricultural losses could have been much greater,
I look forward to advancing your rural agenda for the 21st century,
