Through my position on the Defense Appropriations Committee, we’re working to fund this priority, along with our nuclear missions, which serve as our original deterrent.
We’ve now secured a total of $157 million for the initiative’s first phase, which will develop large-scale pilot projects to prove that it works and is commercially viable.
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.
