John Boozman: “Thank you, Chairman Schatz, and Ranking Member Collins for having this important hearing.”

I’m pleased to continue working with Senator Hoeven to strengthen the future of American agriculture.

While this is clearly welcome progress, we need more of our colleagues’ votes to reflect the urgency of supporting farmers, ranchers, forest landowners and rural communities.

We respectfully urge you to maintain the scientific drain tile setback rule that’s been successful for more than 60 years.

I hope that after people are home visiting with their constituents, visiting with their farmers, visiting with their states…that the Democrats will vote for the bill.
