We appreciate Secretary Rollins and USDA continuing to move forward with efforts to roll back the Roadless Rule. This proposed rule will help provide greater certainty for our ranchers, energy producers and other stakeholders while ensuring the grasslands can be responsibly managed for multiple use. Rescinding the Roadless Rule will return decision making authority to local land managers who are best positioned to address the needs of our communities.

In recent months, we’ve made tremendous headway on issues important to our state. Agriculture is a great example.
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.
By rolling back unworkable Biden-era mandates, we are bringing down the cost of energy and ensuring we can make the best use of our abundant energy resources.
