Chairman David Scott Statement on $1 Billion USDA Investment in Climate Smart Commodities, Expanding Markets, Strengthening Rural America House Agriculture Committee Chairman David Scott issued the following statement on today's announcement that the USDA will Invest $1 Billion in Climate Smart Commodities, Expanding Markets, Strengthening Rural America.

"Making sure our farmers, ranchers, and foresters can take a leading role in fighting climate change is critical and something I have stressed since my first day as Chairman of our House Agriculture Committee," said Chairman David Scott.

Today's announcement by Secretary Tom Vilsack and the team at USDA is so meaningful to the agriculture industry because it will help create new and enhanced markets and let farmers, ranchers, and foresters market and produce their commodities in a climate-smart way. The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) gives Secretary Vilsack broad authorities, and I'm


glad to see he is using those authorities to provide opportunities that are good, not only for the environment, but for producers' bottom lines." Chairman David Scott continued.
