                             2018 FARM BILL

  (Mr. MARSHALL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, today we will vote on the farm bill, and I 
can't help but be reminded of the more than 1,100 attendees at the farm 
bill listening sessions we held across the country. What an honor it 
was to take the comments, the feedback, and the suggestions they had 
and work to address those concerns.
  Those 1,100 attendees represented the full spectrum of American 
agriculture. From citrus producers in Florida to wheat farmers in 
Kansas, we saw and heard amazing stories of the grit and determination 
of the people who wake up every morning, pull their boots on, and work 
to feed, clothe, and fuel this world.
  As we vote today, I salute and honor each of them and their families. 
Mr. Speaker, Kansans sent me to Congress to get a farm bill done, and I 
am honored to be here today and to say that we delivered for Kansas.
