As a farmer, I’ve seen firsthand how EPA regulations have made it harder for us to do what we do best—care for our land and produce the food this country depends on. We’re forced to comply with rules written by people who don’t understand the unique needs of our farms, and it’s costing us time, money, and resources.
Farmers are natural stewards of the land because it’s our livelihood. The federal government doesn’t need to micromanage us through the EPA. I believe state and local governments, along with farmers themselves, are much better equipped to create practical environmental protections. We should be given the freedom to adopt sustainable practices that fit our specific needs and conditions. By removing the EPA’s involvement, we can boost innovation, reduce red tape, and ensure that real conservation efforts are happening where they matter most—on our farms.
