                 AGRICULTURE AND NUTRITION ACT OF 2018

  The Committee resumed its sitting.
  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Collins of Georgia). The gentlewoman from 
California is recognized.
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Pennsylvania (Mr. Cartwright).
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment, 
the Banks/Gosar amendment, as a clear threat to a bedrock protection of 
the American people of the Clean Water Rule. The Clean Water Rule 
guarantees clean drinking water for 117 million Americans. My 
constituents rely on the Clean Water Rule, which protects critical 
waterways like the Chesapeake Bay.
  By eliminating this rule, we jeopardize the streams, headwaters, 
wetlands, and other bodies of water supporting critical wildlife 
ecosystems that naturally filter out pollution and provide essential, 
clean drinking water to a third of our Nation.
  Mr. Chairman, the farm bill should be a tool for protecting 
Americans. It must not be used to poison their water. A vote for this 
amendment is a vote against clean water, and I urge my colleagues to 
oppose it.
  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman 
from Louisiana (Mr. Johnson), my fellow freshman colleague and a great 
defender of private property rights.
  Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the gentleman 
from Indiana's leadership on this amendment, and that of Mr. Gosar and 
others.
  Since its inception, the 2015 Waters of the U.S. rule has been an 
unworkable and unreasonable interpretation of the intent of the Clean 
Water Act. It was an overreach of an administration wishing to flex its 
muscles by imposing additional regulations where it had no 
jurisdiction.
  We are regulating things like backyard ditches and mud puddles, which 
we have a lot of in Louisiana. The absurdity of this rule has been 
evidenced by the back-and-forth legal battles that have ensued in the 
courts, most recently this past January in National Association of 
Manufacturers v. Department of Defense. The Supreme Court's opinion in 
that case has thrown some industries into chaos, as uncertainty once 
again looms.
  Congress has the capability to provide a permanent statutory answer 
on

[[Page H4227]]

the merits of the rule, once and for all, by nullifying the rule in its 
entirety. The Waters of the U.S. rule is bad for America's farmers, bad 
for American energy, and bad for America's builders. My friend calls it 
the poster child of government overreach, and I could not agree more.
  Mr. Chair, I urge adoption of this amendment.
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Chair, may I inquire how much time I have 
remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from California has 1\1/2\ minutes 
remaining. The gentleman from Indiana has 30 seconds remaining.
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Chair, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from 
Minnesota (Mr. Peterson).
  Mr. PETERSON. Mr. Chair, I rise to support this repeal.
  Mr. Chair, I just want to caution people that I am worried about us 
getting this through the Senate. I spent a lot of time trying to work 
this thing before, had a number of meetings with Gina McCarthy. The 
underlying problem with this is that we have four different agencies 
that have jurisdiction over what a wetland is.
  We passed in 1985 the wetland, the swampbuster bill in the farm bill. 
We still, to this day, cannot define what a wetland is. And what I am 
worried about when they do this new regulation, which they are probably 
going to have to do to replace the old one, they are not going to be 
able to come up with a definition because we haven't been able to do it 
in 20-some years.
  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time for 
closing.
  Mrs. NAPOLITANO. Mr. Chairman, I just think that, again, we are 
saying anything Obama did is wrong. I want to continue protecting the 
waters of the United States for the American people.
  Mr. Chair, with that, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Chairman, in closing, this amendment isn't 
just important to farmers; it is important to all landowners in our 
country. It is a big step forward in protecting our private property 
rights. I applaud President Trump for delaying the rule as he had, but 
this is our opportunity to repeal it once and for all.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Banks).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana will 
be postponed.


                    Announcement by the Acting Chair

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, proceedings 
will now resume on those amendments printed in House Report 115-679 on

electronic vote after the first vote in this series.


                Amendment No. 17 Offered by Mr. Russell

  The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a 
recorded vote on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Oklahoma 
(Mr. Russell) on which further proceedings were postponed and on which

  The Clerk will redesignate the amendment.
  The Clerk redesignated the amendment.

  Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York (during the reading). Mr. 
Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of the 
motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York is recognized 
for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
  Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself as 
much time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, this is the final amendment to the bill. If adopted, it 
will not kill the bill or send it back to committee. If adopted, we 
will proceed to final passage, as amended.
  I offer the motion to recommit on behalf of farmers and rural 
communities

[[Page H4231]]

who are confronting threats to their livelihood, sadly, that are 
included within this bill.
  Mr. Speaker, the communities I represent rely heavily on agriculture. 
Hudson Valley farmers feed New York and America, they create thousands 
of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity, and they preserve 
the cultural heritage for generations of farmers who have done the 
same.
  I was raised in a small town surrounded by family farms, and I am 
proud to say I still live in one today. Agriculture drives the economy 
of my district.
  Suffice it to say, I didn't think I would ever oppose a farm bill. I 
was proud to be part of the bipartisan team that wrote the last one. 
That bipartisan bill was a huge win for farmers in my part of the 
world, but this farm bill is very different, and I am disappointed to 
say that we are following the best farm bill ever for the Hudson Valley 
with the very worst farm bill ever for the Hudson Valley.
  It claims to create efficiencies, but really just ends up going after 
people who need a hand, the ones we are supposed to focus on in this 
bill.
  One instance is simply the mandate that parents pay their child 
support or lose their SNAP benefits. Now, that, on its face, sounds 
like it makes sense: You don't pay your child support when you have 
kids, that should be a problem, but this bill goes about it in all the 
wrong ways and it ends up hurting the very children who rely on that 
child support, and it would actually end up costing more than it would 
save us.
  It also goes after critical trade programs just as millions of our 
farmers are reeling from a trade war and the renegotiation of NAFTA.
  Earlier this week, my Hudson Valley district was slammed by a series 
of storms, which destroyed acres and acres worth of crops. My office 
has been inundated with calls from farmers whose very livelihoods are 
in jeopardy as a result.
  One farmer named Josh Morgenthau, who runs the famous farm called 
Fishkill Farms, may have lost $1 million worth of crops. That is just 
one farmer in Duchess County.
  So the very same week when we faced these deadly storms, we are now 
talking about responding to millions of dollars in crop damages without 
improving the very crop insurance programs that farmers like Josh 
depend on today, right now. That is a kick in the teeth to the guys I 
represent.
  But the problems with this bill don't stop with crop insurance, as 
bad as those are.
  This bill eliminates America's largest conservation program, and that 
is a killer for rural New York because of growing urban sprawl and the 
loss of farmland around New York City. In fact, in New York State, we 
lose 10 times more farmland than we preserve every single year. Now, 
you don't need your slide ruler to figure out that is a big problem for 
us.
  This bill does too little to help small, diverse family farms like I 
represent, but it is a huge win for corporate industrial agriculture. 
It doesn't add a penny to the very research foundation that is funding 
local efforts in my part of the world to fight invasive species like 
the allium leafminer, which threatens the entire onion crop of the 
black dirt region, one of the Nation's largest.
  This is all happening against the backdrop of aging farmers, and that 
fact threatens the sustainability of the industry. New farmers can't 
get access to crop insurance or farmland they need to start a viable 
business. The land costs too much. These kids are loaded up with 
student debt.
  Don't take my word for it. The National Young Farmers Coalition 
adamantly opposes the Republican bill.
  We can't wait for the next farm bill to fix these problems. The 
average age of our farmers is going up all the time. It used to be 50; 
today it is 60 years old, the average farmer. It keeps going in the 
wrong direction.
  We should be doing more in this bill to support young and beginning 
farmers and to incentivize careers in agriculture.
  I promised my farmers, including my agricultural advisory board, on 
which Josh Morgenthau and other young farmers sit, that I would fight 
for them in Washington.
  In our motion, we provide almost $400 million for the Market Access 
Program, Foreign Market Development, and Technical Assistance for 
Specialty Crop Farms over 5 years.
  For the scholarships at 1890s institutions and Historically Black 
Colleges that help to prepare our next generation, we provide $95 
million, and we fund the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Program at $120 
million.
  We provide $80 million for organics research. We commit $140 million 
to promote farmers markets and local foods, and we invest $125 million 
in outreach and assistance for socially disadvantaged farmers.
  For research on specialty crops to advance the fruit, vegetable, 
flower, and nut growers that contribute the largest portion of our 
Nation's farm gate value, we provide $175 million.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the gentleman's 
motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, this attempt at legislating is a little 
late. For all of the rhetoric, my colleagues on the other side of the 
aisle have said for over a month now that this bill was so broken they 
couldn't fix it.
  They come tricking trotting in here this afternoon with an amendment 
of this scope.
  This would have been a great conversation to have had in committee, 
but we spent 5 hours listening to complaints that we weren't amenable 
to any changes.
  It would have been handy to have that go through the Rules Committee 
so we would have had at least overnight to look at what this deal does.
  To come in here now and pull this procedural trick, which, quite 
frankly, the minority always does. When we are in the minority, we do 
it. When you are in the minority, you do it as well, and I oppose the 
gentleman's motion.
  Mr. Speaker, we are at a point in time where it is now time to move 
forward. We have had a relatively complicated process, a 600-page bill, 
51 amendments made in order, now this attempt to legislate at the last 
second.
  But it is about to get real simple. We are about to start putting up 
red and green votes on the board behind you, Mr. Speaker.
  And let me tell you what the green votes are for. Green votes will 
mean you stand with Americans. You stand with those producers out there 
who are in a terrible circumstance. There has been a 50-percent drop in 
farm income the last 5 years.
  Today's headlines in the USA Today: Farmers being forced to quit as 
income dies.
  That is who you will stand for with a green vote. Or a red vote says, 
no, we want to continue to argue about this. We want to take advantage 
of what might happen in November because we are going to say ``no'' to 
this.
  We have got SNAP beneficiaries out there who are dependent on this 
new program we are going to put in place to have their case managers to 
help them walk through this labyrinth of social networks to try to get 
them to a job. So you are saying ``no'' to those guys as well.
  We are going to say ``no'' to the men and women who eat our food 
every single day.
  You can love the farm bill or you can hate the farm bill, but it 
delivers the most effective, affordable, and safest food and fiber 
supply of any developed Nation in the world.
  That is a pocketbook issue that comes across this country, and a 
``no'' vote says: Never mind. A ``yes'' vote today will say we stand 
with those men and women who buy food every single day; for those 
paycheck-to-paycheck families whose rent doesn't change, their car 
payment doesn't change. If something happens to them, it comes out of 
their food budget. Why on Earth would we intentionally try to screw 
those folks over by raising the cost of food, by not continuing this 
process and moving forward?
  Mr. Speaker, this is pretty darn simple. Very darn simple. Either 
vote with those SNAP recipients whose lives would be better, whose 
impact will be better, or you vote against them.
  You will vote with the men and women who suffered through the 
terrible times in the last 5 years, the worst since the Depression, or 
you vote ``no.''

[[Page H4232]]

  There is no group of Americans more in tune to what goes on on this 
floor than the men and women of production agriculture. It is vital to 
their livelihood, vital to their existence, what we do here tonight.
  And you will hear a lot of rhetoric about those red votes, reasons 
why they voted ``no'' on it, but I guarantee you, those farmers and 
ranchers back home that are watching this clock and watching what 
happens, they will understand what it means. They will understand that 
those ``yes'' votes mean we are going to move this process forward. We 
are going to continue to attempt to give them the assurance over the 
next 5 years what this farm bill will do for them and how they will 
stay in business, how their bankers will make plans in moving this 
thing forward.
  Mr. Speaker, we have had 3 years of hard work on this, 114 hearings. 
We are ready to move this bill forward. I recommend that my folks vote 
against the last-minute, last-ditch effort to look like they are 
legislating because they ignored the legislative process for over a 
month, including in committee, and let's move this forward.
  Mr. Speaker, vote ``no'' on this amendment and ``yes'' on the bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is 
ordered on the motion to recommit.
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
