Mr. Chairman, we have a new administration. You have 

 many new faces on your committee. And, Congress has had 

 the greatest turnover since World War II. The American 

 people have voted for a change. It is now time to look at 

 change in our agricultural policy. It is now time to 

 begin to design farm policies that will be beneficial to 

 the family farmer and to the American public. 



We commend you, Mr. Chairman, for conducting these 

 hearings on the outlook for agriculture. The National 

 Farmers Union believes that the outlook is bleak if 

 changes are not made. We stand ready to work with you and 

 the new administration to design the changes that will 

 benefit everyone.
