Hearing of the Senate Agriculture Committee - Opening Statement of Sen. Fischer, Hearing on "Climate Change and the Agriculture Sector."

Hearing

Mr. Rezac is a fourth-generation farmer who manages Rezac Farms, a 2,500 acre family farm consisting of corn and soybean production in eastern Nebraska.

Matt is a member of Frontier Cooperative where he is involved with the Ultimate Acre Grower Panel.

In 2017, Rezac Farms was awarded the Conservation Agronomy Award for Outstanding Sustainability by Land O'Lakes SUSTAIN Initiative.

Nominees were judged for air quality and greenhouse gas emissions; steps to maintain soil health; and improvement of water quality among other factors.

Properly managing our environment is important, and Nebraska's agriculture producers who feed and fuel our world know better than anyone about conservation and stewardship.

Matt's hard work day in and day out is a testament to that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman for holding today's hearing.

I look forward to discussing the good work Matt and many of our hardworking producers across the country are doing to conserve our natural resources.

Matt, thank you for your testimony, and we're happy to have you here today.
