Zach Walls, the same question to you. What would you do to eliminate food insecurity in this country? And how could that also help small family farmers? Early in the Trump administration, Elon Musk and Doge took their chainsaw to the federal government. And one of the programs that they axed was spending tens of millions of dollars trying to get food from small Iowa family farm producers into childcare centers. like the one that my son is enrolled in, into Pre K, into K12 schools, into hospitals. That was a common sense program that was started by Tom Vilsack during the Biden administration that was supporting small family farms. (48:17–48:33)
