NDFB, NDFU Share Concerns at Roundtable

During the roundtable event with Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins, NDFB Executive Director Jeff Missling spoke about the regulatory burden facing farmers and ranchers. “Not only the Endangered Species Act, but WOTUS; we did file in Federal District Court out here in North Dakota on that issue a few years back and have kept that fight up.” North Dakota Farmers Union Government Relations Director Matt Perdue spoke about the importance of FSA and NRCS staff at the county level.”As we look ahead to a new farm bill, I think it’s critical that we have a strong FSA staff (and) strong NRCS staff working with producers, helping them access programs and implement voluntary stewardship practices out on the land.”
