agriculture is under the state list. that includes agriculture, which means production. agricultural education. protection -- and this is absolutely clearly written. under the trade and commerce, interstate trade is listed. and in the concurrent list, it specifies cotton and other crops. now, a lot of academicians say agriculture falls in the state list. that's true. but only for that purpose. secondly, as far as farmers are concerned, there is a clear, logical side. my book is there. i spoke to 30,000 farmers in 2002 across 13 states in the country. i had been jeff bennett -- i had punjab in it and they are very happy for a simple reason. like any other organization operating in the msp sector of punjab, they are absolutely corrupt. and i am saying it on camera. when t farmer takes see great produce to the market -- c-grade produce to the market, the grade changes from c to b. the price changes. the farmer gets a huge amount from the government. the person who is grading isn't losing anything. it is the state that is losing. >> all right, thank you very much. most india

regulations, though, did control every phase of agricultural production. but often it was bureaucratic clumsiness or short-sighted policies that resulted in food shortages. here's an example for you. state officials having determined that gluttonous pigs were competing with humans for grain. the government decreed the great pig massacre which claimed over 9 million victims. what this did was produce a momentary glut of pork. sausages every night. but did nothing to alleviate the grain shortage. more detrimental still was the death of all of those little pigs, and what it did to the delicate ecology that balanced the womconsumer and the world. departure from fields had dire consequences. regulations proved ineffective in the face of disaster. are in 1915 a locust plague of biblical proportions. exacerbated a famine in greater syria. here we see a picture of all of those dots you see are locusts. yeah. the voracious insects stripped vineyards, croplands and orchards. food markets were bare. we know how dire this situation was, because jerusalem lacked enough

agricultural sector. this legislation contains several wins for agricultural stakeholders and requires delegated states to notify users of efficient inspection or wake services of any attempt to discontinue service in addition to notifying the secretary of agriculture. it ensures the user fees are used for official services and not other government functions and most important, this legislation ensures continuity and the official grain inspection and weighing services providing much needed stability to the grain and oil seed trade. i thank chairman pat roberts to make sure we renew the grains standards act this year. and i thank the chairman and his team getting this to the floor after passage by the senate. mr. speaker, i support passage of the senate bill 4054 and encourage my colleagues to vote yes as well. and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from minnesota is recognized. mr. peterson: i yield three minutes to the gentleman from georgia and want to c

we need an agriculture secretary that wants to do that. what agriculture is missing right now is small scale farmers. we have not been receiving the usda.ts through there is not a real focus under this administration to help farmers like me. i am excited but still hopeful that the biden administration will tap an agriculture secretary that wants to bring about these changes that i've been talking about for such a long time. vonnie: representative marcia fudge has the support of the congressional black caucus. would she be somebody that you could get behind? what kinds of issues do you think she would tackle as priorities? john: i spoke to congresswoman fudge about two weeks ago about coming to the agriculture department. she was interested, i think she would be sensitive to all farmers, especially farmers of color. if she came to the agricultural department, i would certainly support her, lend all of my insight and expertise about small-scale farmers, minority farmers. i would bring all of that information to the table and work with her. v

you prevent any kind of agriculture, and weapons that had once wrecked the land, are now. protecting it from human intervention. so there are these nature reserves, and these little spots that are otherwise really developed places of massive farming, and agricultural inputs. that's the interesting thing about red zones. i don't call them expensive, but there are still there and they will be there in our lifetime for sure. so with the merchant marine, that's great so there were these plants to say well if we're not going to get enough wheat, then maybe we need to turn to the oceans and increase fishing stock, but most merchant marine ships had been conscripted by various navies so merchant marine if you are a merchant ranger in the war, it wasn't all that proper for you, and you are usually operating at a loss. that allowed for some fish stocks to recover during the war. but what we found is when those navies had taken the ships, they then totally retrofitted them and improve them, so what the merchant marines got back at the end of the war was much better and they were hig

which is a whole other story of that french agriculture. what had been planted before the work, the going to be down to that is going to be planted after the war. thanks. >> i have a couple of questions. related. the first is, you talked about the british blockade of germany and the problems that that caused. on the flipside, of course, you had german warfare, submarine warfare going on in the atlantic. it was interesting, you talked about always different resource sites. south america, africa, etc. so, i was curious if your research kind of articulated kind of a perception of what that cost was for the merchants, from the merchant marine? destruction and what losses came of some of those resources? safe food. well, some food is going down- -. that is one question. and then the other question is, you mentioned that, in parts of the western front, to even today, they are called red zones. where they are not cultivated or used for any productive purpose. kind of curious about the scale or where those areas might be. >> i will take the red zon

welcome the reforms are pretty clear, that they basically deregulate the agriculture sector. they eliminate the minimum pricing that we know, despite the assurances of the government, and they open up agriculture to large capital, private interests. but the government do say they are giving a minimal base pay going forward, don't they? know, nobody made a speech, and that encouraged prime minister modi to read the bill about technological investment. —— modi made a speech. they were still maintain the billesley part in september that they will abolish the minimum prices, and harmonise indian agriculture to be in line with, say, western farmers. if you look at what has happened, in the illustrative example, imagine you are selling a tomato. the prices up to the vicissitudes of the market. there is increased pressure on farmers as a result and farmland, which then contributes to potentially optimising the environment for india's burgeoning agribusiness environment. so the continued position of the government has been to maintain. they are still in negotiations. to maintain

people in agriculture are used to dealing with the challenges. i call them the four m's, mother nature, markets, mandates, they deal with migration and lack of labor. but they are always pivoting to get over those hurdles. it's that risk taking attitude that allows them not just to survive but succeed. now there are other forces in play in rural america. with large corporate farms squeezing owl the family owned farms. chain stores pricing out mom and pop stores. with the lack of rural broadband and lack of health care options and sharippinging number of rural hospitals. it's no wonder why in many parts of rural america there is a sense of desperation leading to a ridiculously high rate of suicides and a vacuum that can be filled with the vilifications of certain political parties. unfortunately this has not led to that type of vilification but also a lack of faith in how the congress and government can help them. it's time to do what chairman peterson has always said they should do. time for us to do more for those who aren't from rural districts

yeah i think a good example of that is with pesticides in agriculture because we in order to increase yields of crops we've been using industrialised levels of pesticides for really the last century and it's but especially since after world war 2 and as a result the pests have evolved resistance so we have to use more chemicals more toxic chemicals more of them and order to achieve the yields rather than looking at it from a more diverse perspective for example we can agree to pest management where you're only using pesticides in a targeted approach so that would be a case where we're harming the environment and or even herman our own ability to grow food through the industrialized practice of agriculture that in your book a good many examples of how scientists noble intentions to improve the human condition. backfired on that humans themselves and certainly on be other species we share this planet with which in your view is the most striking in terms of the shared gabbett me and then the ability of attention to be sort of being done nation of consequences yeah i would say the most st
