We need NRCS to properly implement many of the conservation programs in the farm bill.

Permitting reform is a top priority for this committee.

I thank Mr. Mann and appreciate his pointing out how important it is to listen to people in the local area who understand the environment, the climate that they live in, and that often they are earning their living by farming. We have…
