The legislation I included in the Farm Bill will prevent the spread of prairie dog habitats, while creating a larger setback on federal acres to protect private lands from prairie dog colonies.

Today’s meeting was also an opportunity to get input from our ranchers on important priorities we’ve included in the Farm Bill, including better prairie dog management and MCOOL, which we’ve been working to advance for years.

Access to federal lands is vitally important for local economies, especially in North Dakota, where the Forest service manages more than one million acres.

MCOOL benefits not only U.S. livestock producers, who can better market their high-quality products, but also U.S. consumers, who will be better informed about the beef they purchase.

I appreciate Chief Schultz for working with us on this priority, as well as for again agreeing to visit our state and hear from our ranchers firsthand about issues on the grasslands.

That’s why we have been prioritizing federal programs and policies that better empower law enforcement to keep our communities safe and bring offenders to justice.

We ask a great deal from our law enforcement, which can often be a demanding and dangerous career. We appreciate everything they do to protect our communities. They have our gratitude, and they deserve our support.

Demand for electricity is up, and it’s going to keep increasing. We need baseload power sources like coal to maintain the reliability and affordability of the grid now and into the future. That’s an essential part of making the U.S. energy…
