The Senate held a hearing this week to consider the Livestock Regulatory Protection Act of 2021. South Dakota Senator John Thune says this bill would prevent regulatory overreach into the livestock sector. “Regulating animal emissions would negatively impact the livestock sector; the Livestock Regulatory Protection Act would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from imposing regulations on livestock emissions.” American Farm Bureau Federation Vice President Scott VanderWahl also testified at the hearing. “We do not need to burden hardworking farmers and ranchers with regulations and permit fees.”
