Diplomatic solution that is the preferred solution. Im very cleareyed about the iranian threat. Not only the Nuclear Threat ask not only the history of past events, but current events. Human Rights Violations have been mentioned and a history of and current practices that are bellicose and destabilizing of other governments in the region and beyond. And it is the case that the sanctions that congress has put in place in so many i have not been part of that legislation. I came here after the legislation was passed, but i can praise those who have been here for putting tough sanctions in place, the vote in 2011 was 1000 in this body, and the administration has been able to utilize sanctions to bring iran to the table because it has crippled their economy and isolated them in the international community. But sanctions are not enough to stop an Iranian Nuclear program. And the one thing that i think you would say if you looked at the history is that the sanctions have crippled the economy.

Consolidation and production in agriculture, going to continue to drive up land values. Going to make it harder for new beginning farmers to enter the occupation. Its not responsible to thee family farmers and not responsible to the american taxpayer. Weve got historically high commodity target prices in this bill, so any slight dip going to mean huge payments going out in the future. We have the multiple entity rule now that we worked on in the previous farm bill being rolled back in one. We have payment limitation caps being increased rather than brought down to where the will of this congress was last year when we had that debate on the floor. Most of that money is being shifted now into the Crop Insurance program which what i feel is overly generous preemyuss Crop Insurance subsidies to producers which has the potential of taking risk out of production decisions, but were telling the Crop Insurance companies, re going to guarantee a 14 profit margin. Were going to pay your entirely
