Farmers Appreciate Efforts to Improve Endangered Species Act

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on departments of the Interior and Commerce proposed rules to improve Endangered Species Act regulations.

“Farm Bureau appreciates the Trump administration’s efforts to improve implementation of the Endangered Species Act. Farmers and ranchers take seriously the responsibility of protecting the environment, and these proposals will provide them with more certainty as they manage the land they often both live and work on. We are committed to working with the administration and Congress to advance the larger goal of modernizing the Endangered Species Act to protect wildlife and promote voluntary efforts to preserve at-risk species.”
