Roger Marshall actually said...

I have never had a tougher time talking to farmers and ranchers than I am right now.

farmers and ranchers were the original environmentalists, but right behind them have been the hunters and the fishermen and women as well.

I think sometimes the people at NRCS and FSA feel like we are beating them up, and that has not been my experience at all.

Farmers and ranchers are the original stewards of the land.
