I believe this bill is a step in the right direction for supporting beginning farmers and ranchers. However, I am concerned about the potential impact it may have on existing farmers who may not qualify for these loans and guarantees. As a farmer myself, I worry about how this bill could affect my ability to compete in the industry.
