Congressman Flood Combatting Biden's 30 x 30 Land Grab

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood released a video highlighting work being done to combat President Joe Biden’s 30 x 30 land grab.

Four years ago, a resolution promising a “Green New Deal” was introduced in the House. At the time, it seemed more like an extreme dream from the far Left than something that would ever happen… but it’s becoming a reality. 

Last year, President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act enacted several Green New Deal Policies… It introduced billions of dollars into government programs aimed at restructuring America’s energy and automotive industries. 

Over the last year, using the Antiquities Act, he’s placed restrictions on vast swaths of land in Arizona, Colorado, Mississippi, Nevada, and Texas. This blocks the possibility of making land more productive in the future. This action also permanently banned mining uranium on 900,000 acres – a resource that could help America produce clean energy and achieve energy independence.  

Federal designations like these are key to achieving the 30 by 30 goal of liberals and President Biden. This goal aims to conserve or permanently protect 30 percent of the nation’s land and water by 2030. Reaching 30 percent is like restricting area the size of nine states of Nebraska. 

I have hope for success in this battle though. The fight against Biden’s 30 by 30 executive order started in Nebraska and that early opposition raised awareness about the consequences of federal land controls. 

America doesn’t need the federal government to tell us how to steward our land and water. Instead, Congress needs to empower America’s farmers and ranchers to pursue sustainable agricultural practices – the way they have for generations. 

I’m fighting for change in Washington. Last year, I voted against the IRA and this year, I’ve made it a top priority to keep conservation programs in the new Farm Bill voluntary. 

This can be stopped, but it’s going to take action from Congress to protect agriculture’s future and America’s food security for the next generation.
