(“I don’t know how I can emphasize this more strongly, but I hope my colleagues will understand that the responsibility, the absolute requirement, is to provide farmers, ranchers, growers — everyone within America’s food chain — certainty and predictability during these very difficult times that we’re experiencing,” Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said on the Senate floor.)
