Frank Lucas: “Passing a farm bill that in all fairness, most of the way…”

“I mean, trade policy has everything to do with success and failure. You just threw up your hands and said, no farm bill, we can't get her done. I wouldn't be here. Passing a farm bill that in all fairness, most of the way through, no one thought would ever pass is nothing short of a miracle. A miracle may imply divine intervention, but just short of that, this is a miracle. Just short of that. I'm so overjoyed to rise today to be at this point in the farm bill process.” (01:14–01:24)
