The importance of strong markets leads me to another announcement today and that some of our incredible specialty crop farmers in the audience will be excited to hear. Today the USDA is announcing we will purchase another additional $80 million in U.S. grown commodities to provide nutrition assistance to communities across the country. Specifically through USDA's authority under Section 32 of the Agriculture act of 1935, the department will buy almonds, grape juice, pistachios and raisins, all which will be produced by our hard working American farmers, many of you in the State of California here today.
