Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on prairie dog management.

More from John Hoeven
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.
Doing so will support their long-term success and improve public safety across the nation, while better keeping officers safe on the job.
At the same time, we’ve provided $158 million for ENDAWS, and I’m advancing legislation to ensure we have the federal support needed to bring this project to completion.
