Suggested Introduction 1:
This week the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation held a hearing focused on passenger and freight rail in the United States. During the hearing, committee members examined the current state of the passenger and freight rail network, including impacts of COVID-19 and legislative considerations for surface transportation reauthorization. Rail transportation is vitally important to agriculture in the United States, including the U.S. cotton industry. Kent Fountain, Chairman of the National Cotton Council, was invited to testify at the hearing, and we caught up with Reece Langley, the National Cotton Council’s Vice President of Washington Operations, with the details.
