“Today’s hearing with CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam was a very productive and insightful look at the work that CFTC does to provide safety and consistency in our markets, which are vital to the continued success of our farmers, ranchers, and foresters and the agricultural industry as a whole,” said Chairman David Scott. “The work that the CFTC is doing is so important to protecting our commodity markets and our consumers and preparing us for the ways climate change will impact issues relevant to the CFTC.” 

Chairman David Scott added, “Diversity is a strength, and I want to thank Chairman Benham for making that clear. We at the House Agriculture Committee are here to be a partner with the CFTC in the important work they are doing, and I look forward to our future collaboration.”
