Years 400ext 20 million acres of farmland will change hands. Who will this be handed to . It is unacceptable that farmers over the age of 65 out outnumber the age of farmers by a margin of six to one. It is unacceptable fair 300,000 fewer farmers than there were 20 years ago. Unacceptable that in the early part of the 20th century there were nearly 2 million of 35 andder the age today there are less than 120,000. Unacceptable that the largest 10 of farms collect of all federal farm subsidies while the smallest 62 do not receive any subsidies. Farmers has a new never been greater and the time to act is now. It is a matter of National Importance that we take old steps to usher in a new generation of farm owner operators. The argument . Anyone wishing to be heard in opposition . I will call into question, the vote is up. Opposition . Ok. Goes first. Favor im from the great state of nevada. We need to recognize that farmers in this country are also serving our urban communities. We have the vegas roots garden, which provides fresh healthy food to interstate communities that desperately need it. To see that Program Growth through a Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Farmers are everywhere, they are in every county and in our country. If they die off where they going to be . For your support in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program for farmers in our country. Anyone else . Alreadyt to second what has been said here. I am from new mexico and we are a rural farm area area that those below are very underserved and theyre going to die out and we arent going to be able to have the dairy farms that we have and that the and the and ranches that we recognize. I support it. Im speaking in favor of this amendment because one of the great tragedies of the last 50 years has been the loss of the realy farms, the loss of competitiveness in farming in favor of concentration and industrialization in agriculture. Anyone else . We have more. Nearly half of the land in this nation we need farmers not only to produce the food we eat but also to help us combat Climate Change and be a good steward of our oil, care, water, and other Natural Resources. Allowrogram would simply farmers to make 10 years of income driven payments, student loan payments before having their balance forgiven. Thank you. [applause] from nebraska. The beast a. Where we have more cows the be state. Where we have more cows. I stand in favor. I very much want to see folks my age go into farming. I think this is a wonderful amendment. I believe everyone in this room supports the family farm. And allowing farmers to get loan forgiveness will decrease the number of Large Industrial farms that we have and enable more folks to enter into farming as small family farmers. Im speaking in favor of the public loan forgiveness. In the county where i grew up, people are trying to farm. There are no colleges there. Resources sove any please give them a break so we can change our future together. Thank you. Else . Please. You can speak. I am from kansas, we certainly know a little bit about farming there. Believe me im not here to talk against farmers. We know that farming affects all of us. It affects the world. Here to talk about farmers or farming. Is about isendment expanding the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. These taxexempt nonprofit sorry,ations im every body. But farming is a business. And what you are talking about forgiving are not the sort of debt that farmers need forgiven. What farmers need forgiven our business debts. You to oppose this amendment. Thank you. To add a little bit in addition to that. Under the program for incomebased payment for farmers who dont make very much money, they would still be qualified to into ana in to go income vase plan and apply for loan forgiveness, but not given the preference that is given to Public Service because they are in a forprofit business and there are certain farming activities that are quite look forward to things like marijuana farming. And how do you draw the line . How do you draw the line between corporate farming . This is a significant change to the program. From chicago. You had your time. This is related to a bill that is in the house. The Higher Education act is up for reauthorization. This is the perfect time to address it. This is just saying they will address how to do it. Anyone else wishing to be heard in opposition . Nyone else . Going to call to question. If you are in favor of the amendment, please raise your white card. In opposition,. Verwhelmingly in opposition as we have another amendment . I. S. , amendment 54. Line 20. 4, the proposed amendment would make the section read as follows, we believe it is time hemp as a industrial staple of United States agriculture. It is easy to grow, even on poor soil, does not deplete the soil, toxic chemicals for Pest Management or fertilizer nation, and has many practical uses. It is a renewable source of highquality rope, paper, fabrics, and oil, including machine oils. On can besed profitable on any land. Useful only for cattle breeding and other environmentally damaged family have one minute to introduce. Im from the commonwealth of virginia. Lets get one thing straight, Industrial Hemp is different is as different from marijuana as cornflakes are from bourbon. Once everyoneas americans patriotic duty. Since world war ii that stopped. Virtually all of the world never endedtions this0,000 year history of plan c use and benign cultivation. In my state of virginia, whose General Assembly is in for republican control, legislation recently made it to the desk of democratic Governor Terry mcauliffes, who signature made it legal in the commonwealth to Research Hemp cultivation and manufacture products made from hemp. Other states have passed similar laws. Federal leadership is needed to restore this crop to its former place of usefulness and Economic Opportunities for all americans. [applause] errors re 15 second 15 seconders . Is there going to be opposition . Those speaking on the half should go first, you have five minutes. Im from the state of nevada. Nevada needs hemp production. This is a future industry from my state that i want to see americans employed in. This is not a job that can be outsourced. The basis why hemp is illegal goes down to our countrys history of racism, that latinos grew hemp. It became illegal and it is also going back to nick sodium goes 10 nixonian back to nixonian policies. We have a cash crop available here, no one is getting high, but we are going to create good jobs, good cream jobs, fabrics, medicine, and plastics. Four minutes. I would like to say the same thing for the state of new mexico. We are first in childhood poverty, we have terrible time with job creation, if we have already decided on this platform that we voted to take marijuana off of schedule one, this has nothing to do with the use of marijuana. Product,n industrial you cannot get high, there are ways to grow it so they do not by the. Bud. Not it is a nobrainer. Kentucky, we have been toently granted the ability start studying hemp growth in kentucky. Provide is ait can great economic opportunity, particularly in regions in our state that have been devastated by the decline of the coal industry. We have areas where it is very hard to make a living off of the land, and this can be one of the few things that kentucky can really grow in difficult areas. In regards to its relationship with marijuana, not only is hemp entirely different from it, it is frankly a little silly to penalize hemp for an inaccurate social taboo. Hemp and marijuana, for what its worth, they cross pollinate. Not only can you not get high from hemp, but if you grow them in proximity to each other it ruins the marijuana. That hemp would facilitate more marijuana growth and use, the exact opposite is actually true. From nebraska. 1942, department of agriculture reports that nebraska will be the best place to grow hemp, Industrial Hemp. A recent report says hemp could be nebraskas gold mine. I encourage you to vote for this amendment. One minute. Favorable. Tony from alabama. Three points. And doesnt need fertilizer restores the soil. And if you really want to vote first flag betsy made out of hemp cloth. And the constitution is made out of hemp paper. From iowa. Even in iowa we need it. It is one of the few things that can restore the soil that has been ruined by industrial agriculture. Please pass it. I close the arguments for. Any arguments against . From kansas. Draftrrent includes a robust agenda f strengthening the rural and agricultural economy. We call for increasing funding to support the next generation of farmers and ranchers, and we call for expanding our local Fruit Markets and regional food system. Netall for a focused safety to assist family operations that need support during challenging times, and we call for promoting Clean Energy Leadership and collaborative stewardship of our Natural Resources. But we dont believe that we should single out any particular crop in america for our agricultural economy. And ranchersrmers play a vital role and we have to support all of their efforts and the crops grown. Thank you. Againstou to vote number 54 and im speaking on behalf of the clinton campaign. Anyone else . Please. Thompson from north carolina, i come from a farming family, the next generation of farmers has begun in our family. I agree with the speaker that just went before me, that farming is vital to a state like north carolina. But my family grows a number of other crops of they would love to have singled out on its platform. This is not the approach we need to take. We need to take the approach that theres already a platform, and please vote no on this amendment. Any other comments . I will call into question, though supporting the amendment please up please raise your white tag. All those supporting please raise your tag. All those opposing, please raise your tag. 30 secondng to have a vote. We agreed. Please vote. 15 seconds. The amendment fails. Amendments .
