Congressman Flood: President Biden’s Ag Week Actions Harm Future of Family Farming

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement regarding President Joe Biden’s actions impacting farm and ranch families in the midst of National Agriculture Week.

“During National Ag Week, the Biden Administration has finalized implementation of their draconian Waters of the U.S. Rule and expanded the reach of its 30 x 30 land grab. Rather than taking action to grow agriculture, President Biden is advancing the agenda of environmental activists by slapping new red tape on family farms and ag producers who are trying to grow the food we need to feed the world. At a time when the president should be helping American farm and ranch families thrive, he’s instead been using the power of the federal government to make it harder for the next generation of farm families to live the American dream.”

The Biden Administration’s Waters of the U.S. rule took effect in 48 states earlier this week. Additionally, President Biden has also made new announcements regarding his 30 x 30 plan, locking away hundreds of thousands of acres. Details can be found here.
