The last thing they need, and so many others in agriculture, is more regulations.
I would argue right now that most people crossing the southern border have learned that.
We want to make sure that in this farm bill, the conservation title does not become the climate title.
Okay, and do you have concerns with how current transportation costs may limit the reach of the Food for Progress Program?
I guess what we need to know is that, first of all, we are taking care of Americans first.
We want to make sure going into next year with this farm bill that we have all the information and data we need.
some of the environmental community have continued to villainize farmers and ranchers even though modern American agriculture is the most sustainable in the world, and clearly provides climate benefits.

This hard mandate just feels like it is going to create a disaster, almost like we saw in the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

As a former physician and current holder of a DEA license, I know that I would make it a point to educate my patients on the power of these drugs.
I think there's responsibility among the patients to know that it should be illegal to share these drugs.
I know that I would make it a point to educate my patients on the power of these drugs.
Can folks in Tennessee count on you to be supportive of the Walking Horse industry, and facilitate scientific and objective inspection methods to eliminate soring?
