Thank you Chairman Heath P. Tarbert for your leadership in convening today’s meeting of the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC). Given the ongoing, unprecedented volatility in the agricultural cash and futures markets, I am pleased that this Committee could come together today to share their insights regarding the liquidity, integrity, and accessibility of the futures markets with the Commission. America’s agricultural producers and growers tirelessly dedicate themselves to putting food on our kitchen tables while they, themselves, constantly struggle to ensure the solvency of their farms and ranches. The CFTC, along with the futures exchanges and market intermediaries, must work just as tirelessly to ensure that our futures markets remain a reliable, efficient hedging tool for them.
