The hearing of subcommittee on general farm commodities and Risk Management entitled reviewing the state of the farm economy will come to order. Good morning and thank you for joining us, as we look into this critical aspect of our economy. Every one of us seated up here has heard from farmers in our districts about the bad farm economy. Commodity prices are low, input costs are rising and financial pressure is mounting on farmers across this country. While we hear so much about the booming state of the overall economy, our rural and farm economy continues to struggle. You cannot have a successful National Economy when such a vital component hurts the way our farmers are currently. The numbers paint a rough picture. Usda forecasts net farming level for 2019 to be only 77 of the annual average for 2000 through 2017. Its down 50 from 2013 alone. Inflationadjusted farm debt i ....

This is new york city and this is heading up to providence and this is impacting boston which is why we have tens of millions of people in the way here in the blizzard warning which means that youre not just going to get heavy snow that will accumulate a couple of feet maybe three feet and also along with that youre going to get the potential for hurricaneforce winds and i think well have sustained wins 30 to 40 miles an hour easily at the peak of the storm.

Embassy here and how 16 embassies around the world have been closed owing to the efforts of the jihadists there but its people staying at home in the west.

Obviously if theyre not crossing borders to syria, makes it harder for Law Enforceme ....
